it was only a week ago, seems so long ago and its still so fresh in my mind at the same time. im so down, so depressed. so many bills piling up on top of things cause i missed so much work between a knee injury and bieng sick and miscarriage. im trying to go back to work today, not sure how i will cope yet. im just wondering, how do you get through this? im so sad, i just dont care about anything. i wanted that baby, i used to sit and hold my stomach even though it wasnt really sticking out there yet. i felt so happy and now its gone. i dont know how long my medical will last, i was on state medical, or if it will even cover care after a miscarriage, i was suposed to have continued coverage for two months after the baby was born, so i guess i should have two months after this, its not my fault the baby was born at 8 weeks. i need to get my knee fixed and dental work done, and counseling maybe. its just like walking around in a fog. i dont know how to deal with this. im so lost.

You are doing something about your feelings, you are HERE! If it's only been a week, your body is still being flooded with hormones, and all this sadness is understandable. Go easy on yourself, and ask work what time left you have. If you have to go back to work, then when you are off work, do nothing at all. Laundry and cleaning can wait. I wish I could offer you more advice, but I'm still struggling too, and it's been 7 weeks. Stay online with this group, at least you aren't alone.

It's not easy, I know. I used to work at an indoor mini golf/family arcade and all I saw were kids, babies, and pregnant women. No matter what I did to try to avoid them there they were up at the counter and seemingly in my face and I had no choice but to put the face on and do what I needed to do. After they left I would go into the ladies room and cry. What didn't help was my former boss was also pregnant (due in June) and, on top of not being able to stand her on a personal level, having to work alongside of her and seeing her pregnant was way more than I could bear. I used to take my angel teddy bear to work with me. It sounds juvenile but that was the only way I could get through. Now that I am out of work, I hug it even tighter. I understand all too well about bills piling up and seemingly no end in sight. I wanted my baby too--I still do. Every now and then I still catch myself rubbing my tummy and it has been four months. Honey, the fog will lift but it will take time. If you're getting help through the state, maybe your worker can best tell you how long your medical coverage is good for and what kinds of help you are eligible to receive.You are not alone here; you are with friends. I am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.

thank you, it really is so hard. and on top of it, i have a gambling problem, which i was doing just fine at, but now that im so depressed for some reason i go back to old habits in self destruct mode. i dont know what to do, cause on top of bieng in trouble financially, im making it so much worse. half the time i cant even feel my emotions, then i find myself crying and didnt even know i had tears coming down my face, so i cant understand or predict how i will be or what i can do about it. im going to try to talk to a counselor, i dont think that will help but im going to try something.
