In August I experienced a miscarriage that saw me in hospital from complications. I accepted the loss, and have been given the go ahead to start trying again.
I just seem to be so angry all the time. I don't know why but I used to be so patient and understanding. But now the littlest thing sets me off. I fight with my partner, I scream at my child, I hate going to work because people just make me angry and exhausted. I don't talk to my friends as much because they are expecting or have newborns and hearing them complain about everything that happens with pregnancy and babies makes me so mad.
I don't know what to do, I've talked to counsellors and social workers. They all say I'm experiencing normal emotions with the loss, but being this angry all the time can't be healthy.
What do I do? What can I try? Please help.

You are experiencing grief, and yeah sometimes we just have to go through it. I'm sorry for your loss.
Im sorry for your loss.
I'm experiencing the same anger it's driving me bonkers! I miscarried early September and it was my first ever pregnancy so I didn't take the miscarriage too well, I'm just so angry and bitter about it. I can wake up feeling fine and within 5 minutes of getting in my car facing traffic on my way to work I start to loose it and my day is just downhill from there.
I've found what kind of helps me is to write things that piss me off down as they happen so in a way they're no longer in my mind, any big things that really bug me that aren't 'easy' to get over I speak to my psychiatrist about.
I find speaking to her helps quite a lot.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Depression doesn't always manifest as being sad or down. It can also present with irritability and anger, a 'short fuse'. I would suggest that you may have depression, probably brought on by this experience. I would speak to your GP about it and see if there's anything else that can be done. Good luck, much love xx
