floating
Feeling like I'm floating, kinda outside of body but not, everything seems far away, inside a bubble.
Does anyone else get this?
Am I going mad?

Re: floating
No you're not going mad @mandy84.
I suspect there's an element of shock involved though. You've endured a lot recently. Have you been to see the GP? It's been an inordinately tough time for you. I'm not sure if this is right but perhaps @PANDA could help you.
Take care and keep writing to us Luv n Hugzzz 💕

Re: floating
think my body's trying to push me out of it so it can cope or the MI d the body. Definitely not thinking too good. A disconnect. Might be shock. Nuat be emotional as saw Dr today and not worried Something's just not right, like I'm splitting down the middle.

Hi @mandy84
You have had such a lot to process physically, emotionally and relationshipwise. Dont be too hard on yourself. Be kind and gentle to yourself as your body and sense of femininity is hurting.
I have had a lot of floating feelings at different times in my life ... it can be called "dissociation". It can relate to our soul, or aura, depending on your beliefs. Its a sign you are under a lot of stress, but no need to panic, be kind to your inner wounded self.
You have a truckload of grief, your bub, your relationship with the triple timing scumbag (sorry), your job home etc. You might need to let your sister know you have had a physical & emotional knock, which you cant fully explain just yet . . so she accepts that you are particularly vulnerable right now and so you can continue being big sister through the upcoming birth.
I take it your doctor was not concerned about physical consequences of the miscarriage, but can you go back and get a referral for counselling to help you get through the next few months.
If YOU can get some support, which you are entitled to, dont listen to negative self talk, you might be able have some healing and bonding with your little sister through her birth.
I have had a lot of loss with my daughter, but in the end, when i could move past my anger at my loss, other children can also be very healing and redemptive.
Take care @mandy84

Hi @mandy84,
How brave to share so openly and allow others to support you. It is not easy reaching out.
I am not really sure what is going on for you, whatever it is it sounds scary and as though you need some additional support.
We do speak with mums who experience mental health decline (like postnatal anxiety or depression) following a miscarraige. Feeling like you are floating, and separate to what is happening around you can be due to a whole range of reasons. Can you go back to your GP and let them know you are worried? it would be a great start.
Wishing you strength and self-compassion as you manage the next step.
PANDA team x
