I recently suffered a miscarriage which shook me to my core. As someone who struggles with Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD) and chronic PTSD, it rattled me even more. I went to a very dark place and attempted to take my life. I was lucky that my husband came in just in the nick of time and stopped me. Seeing my husband and three year old son in that moment filled with so much love, light and hope made me realise that my life was worth living for. Miscarriages are very common, yet there is little awareness on this fact let alone the trauma and toll it takes on women who go through it. In the first episode of Conversations With Sophia, a new talk show by Violet Simon @violetsimonofficial, I speak with Jessica Heagren, founder of @that_works_for_me and Lauralee Whyte, founder of @spectrumspeakersuk on our experiences of miscarriage, the effect on mental health, the fears that accompany future pregnancies after having a miscarriage(s), the impact on partners, what to do to better support women who are dealing and have dealt with miscarriage, and the need for more conversations on miscarriages.
