Does anyone know if there is such a thing as post natal depression after miscarriage. I mean I know it's natural to feel grief and sadness but I am two weeks post miscarriage and feel my brain is playing tricks on me....crying everyday for at least a few hours. Also it seems my tears are no longer over the loss but other things like feeling like a failure generally, thinking my marriage is doomed and my friends don't care about me. It's completely irrational and I'm fully aware of that however these thoughts are overwhelming.

I have had other factors such as the loss of a precious pet and job demotion in the last few weeks which are adding to the stress.

My GP is suggested anti-depressants however I have tried to resist going there as I want to try and conceive again soon. I have been on them previously but came off them to conceive this last pregnancy which miscarried. I'm nervous about the effects on any potential fetus - GP says don't worry but obs/gynae says don't go there!

Life is just a struggle...will it pass or is there something chemical going on in my brain.
