Hey Sisters
I am on my 13th month post op, all in all doing ok, dr says I have healed quite well, but emotionally I am a wreck! I can't (don't want to) go to work, can't get through the day without crying and have no interest in anything anymore. My house is a wreck, I am a wreck, and yet there is nothing wrong with me! My Obie gave me Effexor to take, saying I am "hormonally" depressed.
Anyone else go through this? Am I really just going crazy? I was so worried about the physical stuff, I never thought I would feel this bad this far out.
Thanks for listening!
S.

Hi,
I had a TAB/BSO, ( no ovaries) I'm taking HRT. If you have no ovaries and are not using hormone therapy or enough of it, you will feel all the effects of surgical menopause. These effects can make you feel like you're describing.
On this site there is a forum called, " the hormone jungle". There you can get the experiences of many others making adjustments with and without hormone therapy.
I hope you can find some answers soon. I'm just the opposite. I'm great with energy and desire to do things....just still have physical stuff going on.
Please get some help, it's such a shame to heal so well from the surgery only to be left in despair. I know there's answers out there for you.

I am almost 1yr post op and am having the same exact feelings. Had felt so good after surgery lost 65lbs dieting and exercising but gained it all back in 5 months after went to work in very stressful job, got fired and just can't get it together. No energy nothing. I kept my overies so I guess I shouldn't be feeling like this but don't really no. I haven't went to Dr. so don't really know if its hormones or all in my head. Just feel like crap if you know what I mean, so I decided to take a look around this site to see if I could get some answers etc. Hope you feel better!
