Therapy/support

[fabk]

have any of you gone to therapy or a support group for your losses?
did you find it helpful? 

I am am in the process of starting a support group in my area, since we are lacking one now. I have no idea how it will go, but am hopeful. I really want to be there for others going through this.

I really want to be a better person because of everything I have gone through. If I could afford it, I would seriously consider going back to school for nursing or counselling so that I could make a career change and actually do something to help. But that isn't an option right now. 
But I do wonder if therapy would help me sort my crazy non stop over thinking mind.

I have seriously had the exact same thought lately. There isn't one in my area, that I've been able to find. I actually am a nurse, so I thought about speaking with the OBs at my hospital about it. I am pretty open about talking about my losses, especially after this second one. I want people to know that if they ever experience this, they can talk to me. I really didn't have anyone IRL to talk to the first time, and I felt so alone.
In short, haha, no. I haven't done therapy or support group but would love to. I think you are wonderful for wanting to start one.

My therapy so far is cleaning like crazy and chatting here.

Kudos to you for starting a local group. That's a really nice thing to do. Do you have an option to participate in therapy through a medical provider? I'm not sure it will help the over thinking, but maybe it will give you some tools?

I have recently been thinking I may need therapy. I just really have a lot of anxiety and emotions that I don't like as a result of this. I need to do something for sure. Not sure what though.

jmc11511, after my loss in 2012, I had severe anxiety. I would have anxiety attacks out of nowhere. I was seriously having trouble functioning. Suddenly and surprisingly I was pregnant again and the anxiety vanished. I had been collecting phone numbers of people to call though.
I would make the call if you can!

I actually went as far as contacting a support group this time but I have yet to attend a meeting.  I hope to make it one day.  I'm an advocate for therapy.  I feel everyone could benefit from some sort of therapy.
