Hi. For you who don't know me I am 40 years old. Dh 47, 6 children and 3 miscarriages in the last 10 months. On top of this my 18 year old daughter is 19 weeks pregnant and just got engaged. I have lost 2 babies during her pregnancy. I have a history of depression.
What I need to ask is how do you differentiate between grief and depression. It has been 4 weeks since we were told our baby was dead. I had to wait to mc chosing natural miscarriage. I believe I was actually still depressed from 1st miscarriage and most certainly from 2nd. I can't function, I don't want to leave bedroom, I don't want to see or speak to anyone. I am crying, I am SO angry. I get strong urges to be with my babies who have noone. I think reckless thoughts and I want to self harm.
Is this grief or depression.
Please, if you want to write how selfish I am and I should think of family etc etc then you have never suffered from depression and shouldn't be replying. I am looking for people with knowledge of the situation not ones helping me feel more guilty than I already do pushing me closer to the edge!!!
