Mamakaren sorry you also feel up and down. It's just horrible and no one wants to feel like this.
Certainly I'm already on an antidepressant which I took due to lots of personal problems the last 3 years in my life - I could honestly write a book!! Even to get an antidepressant from the gp was difficult to start with. I was told how I was feeling wasn't a medical problem and it was an awful situation I was in, but i only wanted something to take the edge of it. I knew it wouldn't solve the problems.
The antidepressant was horrible to start with, but has helped me.
How I'm feeling as got to be down to the surgery because I didn't feel like this before. I actually cried myself to sleep. Then cried when I wakened this morning and couldn't bloomin stop. I've had a quiet day, had a bubble bath and haven't done much. I feel mentally and physically drained.
Yes, we should get told what to expect. You get your discharge meds when you leave hospital, but they should at least give you a leaflet to let you know what you might expect - other than all the bleeding, dressings, stuff.
I think in my case it's because i'm 55 and they probably think I'm late in the day to suffer any effects of the loss of my ovaries and tubes, but I know that I don't quite feel like I did before and am feeling a bit low.
Thank goodness we can post on here and know that someone else is feeling the same as you.
