I can't stop crying!

Laurdid...it IS early in your recovery. I mine, I reacted to things that were NORMAL to react to. I just overreacted to them!

Have you talked to your DH about what he thinks of the engagement?

Hard to do...but the more you object, the more she'll do what she wants. At this point in her life, she would rather be right than happy.

I hope she figures it out soon - that this is not a good idea. And realizes it's HIM - not her parents!

That was Liz/Autumnlady, not me! I'm just the crying one!!

It's good, in a way, to know I'm not alone in this tearful recovery! I did realize yesterday, that one of my main triggers is the gal at work. Cause she wasn't there yesterday! She's my "backup" on phones, and even though I didn't have any backup yesterday, I was much more relaxed, and the whole office seemed happier. What a shame that one person can do that to an office. It's her attitude, her mouth, her behavior. I'm not thick skinned enough, never have been.

And, on that note, I have to get ready for work!

Oh, I got GOOD news yesterday! yeah!! Went to Weight Watchers, (I started their CORE program last Thursday), and I was down 4 pounds I was a very happy camper! I didn't want to get OFF the scale!! I still have about 30ish to go, but I'm not looking at the big picture right now. Just want 1.4 to come off this week for my first 10 pounds!! (I'm a lifetimer gone bad! )

Take care, and thanks for all the care and advice. This group is amazing!

I am 27 years old, and I had a TAH; kept both ovaries...I cry for no reason and can't stop. I never use to cry this much...I mean I'm emotional; but it is like times 10 now! I'm sorry about your father's financial woes. My father makes me cry, too! He is so sweet. I hope everything works out for him and you! It is okay to cry, once you get it out....you feel better or at least I do. Take care and God Bless....oh and congrats on your weight-loss...I'm working on that, also!

Hey all,

I'm a 44 year old woman and this hyst seemed like a relief to me...so I can't understand why I'm so weepy and stressed out!

Well, I've got a lot of stress in my life. For the past six years I've been the sole provider for my family while DH is a Stay at home Dad to our quadruplets. A year ago I got really sick with two types of anemia and weird neurol. symtoms which still have not been diagnosed and the long and the short of it is - even pre-op I wasn't in great shape and was on disability. But we're in SERIOUS financial trouble here and DH still hasn't gotten a job. I'm really sick about it. We try not to let the kids worry (they're 11 year old quadruplets and two are disabled) 'cause kids shouldn't have to worry about money on top of everything else...but I don't know what to DO to get him up and out.

He's NOT lazy. I mean, this man has kept this household running while I work 60 hour weeks, often out of town...he does every household chore, takes them to appointments, does their homework with them....everything...It's just - since I've been home sick, the housework part has slacked off and now that he really needs to get something full time, it's like he's paralyzed. I guess it's like a stay at home Mom who's been out of the workforce for several years facing going back...Has anyone faced this before? Any ideas on how to maintain harmoney and not lose my mind....

I've weaned off of several antidepressants over the past year and really don't want to go back on them. I have a lot of stress and anxiety - but don't feel it's *unwarranted* if you know what I mean. I mean, should I take antidepressants because my life is stressful? I thought they were for when you FELT a lot of stress that maybe wasn't there or wasn't as stressful as it felt.

So, bottom line - lots of crying and tearfulness and then headaches.

But my belly feels better!

Thanks for your support sisters!
