I found support by meeting with someone I'd met on a forum who had experienced a miscarriage. She knew what I'd been through and just let me talk.
I think finding a counsellor is a good idea.
My company gave me a pamphlet for some free counselling done through the company but I never followed it up (EAP - employee assistance program) - does your company maybe do something similar?

No my company doesn't do anyting like that, possibly just not big enough.
Will definately look into finding someone as I can see I am not doing myself any good particulary with the drinking, unfortunately this time of year it is a bit too easy.

This is by no means a lecture, and you seem to know it already, but try and not drown your sorrows. Alcohol is a depressant and if you're already upset/depressed it's going to make your overall mood worse (beyond the time you're actually drinking).

Am going to be heading down the counselling route, if anyone can recommend a good counsellor in the wellington area, please PM me.
I will ask the GP, but a tried and tested approach would also be valuable.
Not employed as such, so EAP not an option for me, unfortunately I will have to pay for the 'pleasure'!
Didi, hearing you. Booze is the one thing I have totally laid off, because of its depressant naturebecause I know it can turn me into the sobmonster from hell if I'm not feeling 100% when drinking.
But then, avoiding nights out and stuff like that is my current method, so if you're a sociable person, must be a lot harder.
But I think I can understand the thinking behind it, if this makes sense. Anything, to get out the current mindset, just for a holiday.
But then I guess it just puts the headmash on hold, and prolongs everything.

Yes I am definately going to put a leash on my drinking, I do know that it only makes things worse, and is such a bad trap to fall into am in no way deluding myself that it is in anyway an answer.
