Depression and Anxiety
Okay, ladies.....another symptom is rearing it's ugly head big time.
The good news....today I got out of the house for the first time and finally got my nails done.
The bad news....I've spent the rest of the day fighting of yet another headache.
The worse news....it seems like the more my body heals the more depressed I get. It seems like the more life returns to normal the worse I feel. This first few weeks has been filled with pain, bleeding, trips to the dr and the er, etc. Now I FINALLY got my first two "good days" in a row and I feel horrible.
I'm very depressed and my mind is playing really nasty games with me. I have such strong feelings of in adequacy. I didn't do enough with my life. I can't stand the way anyone in my house acts. I'm tired of everything that is my life and I want something different. Everything was so miserable before this surgery, I don't want it to reutrn to normal, 'cause "normal" sucks.
This is really going to sound weird, but I keep thinking about my doctor. She's like my age and she has accomplished so much. She is so good at what she does and has helped me so much. Then I look at my life and think "what a waste". Why didn't I finish college? Why did I have kids so young? Why didn't I marry someone better or even someone I liked?
These are all crazy things going through my head and it's given me a headache.
How do you return to a normal life when the normal life you had sucks?????

Actually, yeah my life did "suck" before surgery. I guess in the early weeks of my recovery for a very short period everyone came together but that's over now and all that is left is the same life that I had. My husband stayed with us while I was at my worse but now he's back living out of our RV. My kids can't be bothered with me. My mom lives with us and she is a handful herself but if it weren't for her, I don't know what I would have done.
I'm just in a really bad place right now and I wish my brain would just "shut up"!!!!! It's making me c-r-a-z-y!!!!!
