Breakup during COVID - pregnancy termination

Hey @AnimalLover,

Welcome to the forums! I am glad you have come here to share your story and find support and connection during this profoundly diffcult time. I can't begin to imagine the grief you are processing and sitting with at this current time, and I would like you to know that we are sitting with you

Hi @AnimalLover

I have miscarried more than once so I am pretty sure you are having a grief reaction and you feel guilty about the termination - you have no need to feel guilty considering your intentions were for the best - grief is harder to deal with - however it happened you have ecperience losses - your pregnancy and your partner and your circumstances at the time and that's a lot

I'd like to welcome you to our forum family - other people will be alongside I am sure and we will do our best to support you - times are tough and we are all here for each other

Keep in touch and let us know how you are

@AnimalLover I’m so sorry things are this hard for you. I’m glad you are here on the forums, we will gently walk beside you.

Sending caring thoughts to you tonight. 💕💕

im glad to see youre reaching out,
i hope you will speak to your gp about how youre feeling so you can get some more support, it can be hard to do but you can get the help you need and its better to start dealing with things as early as possible.

i know how you feel, ive had a termination before and i am headed to another tomorrow 😞 when i was younger i seemed to be able to ignore it, now i cant not think about it but i know i couldnt handle another child.

you will heal from this, it will get better as time goes on.

there were times i truly thought happiness was a figment of my imagination but i ended up making it through, i fear slipping now but i always remember that ill be back and each time stronger and smarter than before.

lockdown makes these situations so much harder but know youre not alone .

you are strong and you will get through ,
sending all of my love your way

try not to let the weight keep you down,
if not working, try getting up and doing somewhat of your usual routine.
ive barely moved in the last few days or gotten dressed since making my appointment for tomorrow.
and it doesnt help, sometimes rest is good but i dont want it to turn into habit,
today im going to do my hair do a face mask and maybe even put on some makeup, eveen though only for my walls to see, itll give me something to do and make me feel a little better.
if theyre not your kind of things you could try de cluttering something thats been bothering you or that needs it,
baking something or going for a walk.
i cant say im currently practicing this but excersise is something almost any clinician will reccomend you doing daily to help .

@mtd Welcome to the forums.

Sending you support and care for tomorrow.

I hope your hair and make up plans , are a good distraction today. Take care.
