Hi
Only my second post here, my first was to say I was pregnant, and now, well I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage last week and had the surgery on wednesday. I reacted strangely to it - was unnaturally upbeat and positive about the whole experience (far more so than I am in the general course of life in fact) until sunday night, when I started feeling suicidal. My husband and best friend talked me out of doing anything but I still feel dreadful. Even though i have promised not to do anything about my feelings it's like I'm not connected to the world at all, like I'm floating. I don't even feel sadness, just like I'm totally useless. I've had quite a difficult year anyway, and this feels like the final straw, like I can't even do something as natural as have a baby. The reason I am writing this is that I have agreed that it may be a good idea to see a psychiatrist about this (I have also beem trying to dael with the suicide of a friend a while back and think I really need professional help, and anyway it's not fair on my husband to have to deal with this all as clearly he is grieving himself). Can anyone recommend someone for me to contact?
Sorry about this sad and downbeat post, I'm just at a loss as to where to turn, I've only been in HK a coupl of years and don't really know my way around the medical profession.
I'm just off to the hospital now for a check up, but to be honest, even though they're very profesional, they're also terribly busy and I doubt that they'll have the time to deal with this.
Thanks in advance
