    Posted: 06 July 2010 at 9:38pm
I have stayed off the internet for along time now as thought maybe reading things about pregnancy, TTC and mc was making it worse. TBH right now I just want to pick up my computer and throw it through the window. I want to scream. I hate my life, I hate everyone and everything. I just want it all to end.

I am not coping well. Well I'm not coping at all. I don't even talk anymore, not even to DH. I pretend I am happy for other people but I'm not. I hate everything. I don't even know why I am writing this as I don't care anymore if I ever feel happy again.

Sometimes I feel bad as there are many other things people deal with and compared to their problems, mine are insignificant.

I have booked in a hair appointment as am cutting all my hair off. Maybe I should ask her to cut out my heart as all it does is hurt me.

I have spent so much time trying to heal and move on and think about how I will be a mum one day but really, I just don't care anymore, it's too hard. I don't think I can ever go through it again.

I hate the fact I have been on here so much and I feel like an attention seeker but I don't know where else to go. If I don't express some of this I know things might get more serious. At least I don't have to face anyone here. No one here has to put on a fake smile and give me a hug. I don't want hugs, I don't want fake smiles. I just want my memory wiped and to wake up and forget it all happened.

Dammit I was going to send you a hug but I'm not, now. But kind of am, anyway.

I just really really feel for you from what you've written here and previously.

please know you are not alone feeling like this. Writing it out here is a really good thing to do. You can always delete it afterwards if you want.
But is this not what this forum is for? Support and stuff?

None of this is insignificant or attention seeking either (it might feel it, because of how we are conditioned), this is MAJOR GRIEF stuff. You have not only lost something you very much wanted, you have lost all the dreams and happy stuff that goes with pregnancy. Not to mention the sense of self that gets splintered. There's HUGE loss, and its never easy, and we all deal slightly differently, but essentially the same.

I don't think there's anything else I can say because nothing, in all seriousness, is likely to change how shockingly you are feeling. Know my thoughts really are with you.

Vent away.....it's totally better out than in.

I didn't want to read & run & I'm not offering hugs, I'm offering all our ears, well eyes, to vent away to. I can't pretend to know what you are going through as I didn't lose a baby that I'd got attached to. I do understand the pain of trying time after time & it's the support of good friends at the end of your fingertips that helps you through.

Well i am going to send you a cyber hug...and it can just sit there until you need it.

I am sorry you are feeling this way...have you been and seen your doctor.

I dont know how far along you were when you miscarried, but my friend was 9wks and she has just been diagnosed with PND and is no on the road to starting to feel better.

I wish there was something i could say or do to make you feel better

I also wanted to send you a hug....

Wish I could also say something that would make you feel better.

Forums are great for venting and getting things off your chest, I hope its made you feel a little bit better that there are people out there who haven't even meet you, but are thinking of you during this difficult time xoxo

Bobsta, maybe its time that you asked for some help to get through this? I know its hard, it takes a lot of courage to admit you need help. I wanted to think I could heal myself on my own but clearly that wasn't working - it got to the point where I feared for my marriage and thats the last thing you need.
I also recommend the m/c support website, they have a forum too and the girls on there are lovely if you would like to check this out.

Take care

Bobsta, thanks for posting hun. This is what these forums are for so I'm really grateful you have the guts to get it all out there. You don't have to be brave and pretend you're all right when it's totally OK not to be.

Please remember you have friends here whenever you need us. I hope you can find someone IRL to support you too, eg a good counsellor can help you find a wee chink of light in that dark place you're sitting in right now.

Thinking of you matey xo

I dont know if this is something you would feel like doing, but when i miscarried twice in 3 months (and then had to sit and watch 3 people very close to me go through what I should have been going through too!!) I wrote down all the things I was feeling/thinking, good AND bad, then I burnt it. Writing it down and seeing it on paper helped me feel like I had gotten some of the pain off my chest, and burning it was my way of showing I was trying to let it go... you can never really let go of all those feelings... but it was a little bit therapeutic for me... you dont have to do it, just thought it might give you something to do... what made it even harder was it took another year after the second miscarriage to even GET preg again, and working right next to a large shopping mall I saw preggy bellies and new babies everywhere I looked. It wasn't until i got preg with Jae that i was finally able to stop feeling so bad about what I had lost, and to be happy with how it had all worked out in the end.

I'm not saying it will take a short/long time to get preg again, I'm not saying you will magically feel all better when you finally DO get preg... but I am saying its ok to feel like this cos it is a horrible thing you went through, and there are a LOT of us who have been there and can understand just how awful the pain is.

no hugs, no pity, no" I'm sorrys" just understanding from someone who's been in your shoes and remembers all too well how hard it is when your sitting on your own wondering why it even had to happen.

And you arent an attention seeker, and this is the perfect place for you to vent some of the anger/fustration/disappointment... as I said, a LOT of us have been there, and know how hard it is.

bob ive been sitting here for the past hour thinking about what i can say to you. i know nothing that i say will make things better, i know you are in a bad place right now and its hard. i havent had a mc so cant completely understand how you are feeling, but i can understand the feelings of hating everything and wanting it all to go away.

your problems are NEVER insignificant hun. if things are making you feel bad then they are very significant no matter how big or small they are. so dont feel bad. all of my problems are insignificant but different things affect people in different ways, and something that is hard for me might be easy for someone else.

and you are definately not an attention seeker. that is what this forum is for, to say how you are feeling, and if it helps then thats great. if not then at least its out there and we can all support you.

i'm here for you, any time you want to talk, cry, scream, vent or need support. please dont forget that ok. and you have so many people on here that all care and worry about you and there are a lot that know exactly what you are going through, better than what i can. but im always here if you need me.

i dont know if anything i have said has even helped in the slightest but this is all that has come to mind so far.

i just wish i could take your pain away

take care of yourself hun, we love you heaps.

Let it out Bobsta, you have every right to feel like this. You are grieving for the loss of your baby & it hurts like hell.

In time the pain will be bearable, it will always be a part of you & never forgotten.

When you are ready you will pick up the pieces & strength will return to you.

Don't give up on your dreams & wants but let yourself heal & take help & talk to someone.

You will get through this even tho it does not feel like it now you will...I have been there & I honestly say time helps heal so be kind to yourself none of it is your fault.

I feel like a fraud,responding to your post , I have always concieved pretty easily and have never lost a baby I was attached to , like you , so im not going to pretend I know how you feel ...

But I do know how it feels to lose someone you love , and I know how it feels to feel so angry , so hurt , so sick of everything that you want to just cut it all out , shut the world off and wait for it to all go away .
sh*t thing is , no matter how much you want it to all go away , and you want to ignore the world, life has a way of continuing on , whether you want it to or not ....my only advice is to try and make it through every day ...time does heal all wounds , eventually , you just have to give time, time , but dont force yourself to heal ...let yourself cry , and be angry , and let your heartbreak a little more each day , until you are ready to start piecing it together again .

But don't ever feel like your feelings are insignificant , I remember telling you when you first lost baby , that I think the bravest people in the world are the ones who lose a child , in whichever way , and still manage to get up in the morning ...I still think you fall under that category , and I admire you greatly for your honesty and courage to say you are not ok , that takes a brave person

xoxo

 I know you don't want them, but here's a cyber hug for you anyways.

Don't know what to say, as I feel sad that I'm getting to experience what you aren't.

I have experienced loss and grief though, its not something you can put a band aid on or expect a quick fix, grief is sadly there to be gone thru - its hell and its tough, you will get through it.

How you are feeling is always relevant to you, and you do have friends who love you and support you.

Don't feel you can't say what ever you want, or that you have to do this on your own.

Goodness - its only been a couple of months, don't think you have to grieve to a schedule. I'm glad you are talking about it on here - its what this place is for and at least there are people here who just 'get it'. When you are ready perhaps it might help to find someone IRL to talk to as well.
VENT AWAY!! We'll always be here to support.

Hello Bobsta
The ladies are right there is no time frame for grieving,
When I found out about my mc it turned my whole world upside down. I was so angry and very self distructive I ate and drank alot of wine i wasnt beeing kind to myself and was total bitch to everyone.
Now I really want to say something It is up to you! It is up to you to be happy and feel better. It is up to you to be a good friend and a good partner. Trust me I know what you are going through I went through the exact same thoughts and feelings.

Have a good cry let it all out go to bed and say to yourself tomorrow is going to be a good day. I had to do this for a few weeks I would stop and smell a flower and I know that it happend for a reason.

Your turn will come Chin up

Lots of love oxoxox

Ps Vent all you like Wer here to listen

Thank you everyone. I don't feel sad, I don't feeling like crying, I just have so much anger and am fed up with life. It doesn't feel like grief, I don't know if what I feel now is related to what happened in May or maybe I'm having a mid life crisis or something (well I'm turning 30 next month and am not at all happy about that)

Last night I was feeling it more so than usual hence the strong words. DH was out and it was the first night in ages when I was home alone so that must have triggered it and it all came out at once. The busyness of life tends to keep everything I feel dulled down and under wraps. I do know that I'm not myself anymore. I just don't see the point in so many things I used to care about.

I do appreciate you guys commenting so thank you and I really mean that. Lately I have felt very invisible and have been living on autopilot, most likely a self preservation tool. It's easier to block out life than to try and fix whatever it is that is broken.

The sad thing is that I like feeling angry all the time. I like not caring about things. I like being able to lock up my feelings. I feel tougher for being able to do that rather than be all warm and fuzzy and talk about my feelings. The only thing is I know that's not the real me. I have this urge to go and smash things, like take a baseball bat to a random car or something. Very immature I know. Promise I won't though.

I don't know if talking to anyone will help. I will feel like an idiot as I'm not a crying wreck or anything. Has anyone else been like this? I've read some many things that people cry and have sadness and think about babies and what could have been. But I'm not like that at all. If I'm really honest I have to actually remind myself that it really happened and don't even think of it as a baby anymore. Rereading that it actually sounds like my brain is trying to block out what has happened. Weird. I must be a bit screwed up I think.
