Since my miscarriage at the end of January I have been struggling....My good friend was pregnant and just delivered a beautiful baby girl on Monday. She was so excited for me to see her, and yet I felt myself becoming anxious. I started the "What if" questions- What if I cannot handle seeing and holding a baby? What if after I do I lose control of myself and my feelings?" I tried my best to apply the skills from the program by telling myself that maybe I will feel sad, but I will not loose control and I will work through it.

Well, today I went and saw my friend and her new daughter. I held her and I felt happy. I left there like I had just walked on the moon. I took a positive step towards my recovery, not only from the miscarriage, but from anxiety and panic attacks that have been in my life off and on since 1998.

Congratulations, Andy!!
You are doing well!

I had a miscarriage before I had my 3 healthy children. A little boy. It is a big loss.

But you are going forward and you shared in the happiness of your friend.
Your day will come!!

Bless you!
Mary Jane
