Depressed a month after miscarriage?

I had a miscarriage a month ago and was pretty sad for about a week. Then I started feeling better because I was like this was God's plan and it will happen when it happens. For the past few days I have been extremely depressed. Today I went to a friend's house who had a baby a week ago. I spent most of the day there and now am so sad. My face also started breaking out really badly like pimples bad acne all around my hair line checks and chin. I don't know whats going on with me? This acne is making me feel so ugly. Could this be postpartum depression or what. I have not started my period since the dnc. Maybe it's just pms. Any ideas?

Answer:
I am sorry for your loss. You are grieving and your hormones are going full gear...all at the same time. It is natural to feel the way you do. You need to see your doctor and let him/her know how you feel. They can help you feel better during this difficult time. Please call now so you can feel better.

Best wishes.
This is interesting to me as I had the same thing happen recently. Hormones are probably a part of the reason you feel depressed.
I went through this. It is going to get better. Your acne and depression is probably due to a hormonal imbalance. Plus, it is a very emotional experience. It will take time to heal. Just be patient with yourself, and go visit the people in your life who make you smile. Best Wishes and props on the great attitude.
Casey, I totally relate to what you are saying. I lost two children due to miscarriage. First I want to tell you that God didn't take your babies. Fetal development is a tricky ordeal, and sometimes things just don't develop right. You are completely normal to feel sad - you've suffered a great loss.

I remember people telling me that I will see my children again in heaven someday. Although this was not a comfort to me at the time (I wanted them NOW, not at some time in the future), I now look forward to the day when I will see them again.

As far as your other symptoms are concerned, your hormones are re-adjusting just as they would after delivering a baby. Check with your doctor and he or she can tell you how long you can expect hormonal fluctuations.

Best wishes to you, Casey - although you will never forget, you will feel better!
I think hormones are the guilty culprit right now. Time does make it better. I had a miscarriage in January. My hormones were awful for awhile. Hang in there. It will work itself out soon.
Well 1st let me just tell you that ur totally in my prayers and GOD doesn't make no mistakes. Your body is probably going through all the hormonal changes and sometimes that can cause acne problems and we all hate that. Also stress can cause acne so when you get the time focus on me time and try not to worry or stress urself about thinks that have already happened, sorry to say it like that but i realize when things are done its really nothing we can do but pray for the best the next time. But i feel ur pain because i too have been in ur shoes before. Remember your to blessed to be stressed.
Take God's advice:

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart
and don't lean on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight
Proverbs 3:5-6

If any of you lacks wisdom,
he should ask God,
who gives generously to all
without finding fault,
and it will be given to him.
James 1:5

Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything,
by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

I tell you, do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink;
or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more important than food,
and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?
Who of you by worrying
can add a single hour to his life?
And why do you worry about clothes?
See how the lilies of the field grow.
They do not labor or spin. ...
So do not worry, saying,
'What shall we eat?' or
'What shall we drink?' or
'What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things,
and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
