No Way to Explain

I hav no words to explain the "funk" I am in. Its hard to put into words how I feel.

I am not really depressed.Or anxious.Or even that sad.

I was happy to have the surgery. Yet I am sad because I will never have anymore kids at all. My tubes were tied in 2011!!

My work no longer excites me.I loved my job.Now I would be happier sitting at home doing nothing.

Things I did enjoy I can easily skip now.

I am not crying at all.Its just....I don't know what..hard to explain....

Argh.My co-worker has convinced me to call my doctor and ask for anti-depressants.She has went through all this and knows the feeling I can't explain.

I am on vivelle and it works great. I don't think it is hormone related.

I do want to switch off of it.It leaves red,itchy,and bumpy spots on me. That plus th lint that gets on it and looks so dirty.Argh..that bugs me the most. LOL

Then I have issues with my body.I feel different.I hate my stomach even more than before.I wasn't skinny and always had a belly but now? I cover it when around hubby.

Just so much of a mixed bag right now.

I am happy with my descision.I will over come this soon...Just very frustrating.....

Sorry you are going through a rough patch .. I hear you .. I have felt like that or 5 years .. A friend of mine also suggested anti D's but i am just not a pill person. I am hoping that since i don't feel physically ppphhhttt any more, i will have more energy to get out more, do "different and new" things .. Whatever that is!! Consider doung some stuff for others . It really helps take your mind off things. Bake for your local fire dept, clean out your closet and donate to a women's shelter, drop off some magazines at your local old folks home.
Hang in there .. We are here for you!!

I am in the same boat, so no advice besides **** hugs ****

I am sorry about you not feeling well. I know how it can be...

Have you thought of talking to a therapist? It can be a good option to medication and it might give you tools to deal with "the funk".

! had that same feeling, flat, disinterested, not happy, not sad either, just nothing. When I went back to work I almost cried because a job I loved I had no interest in and also being a full time student, all of a sudden I justed wanted to quit (graduating this semester!!). For me it was hormonal and lasted for a few weeks. It started to subside when I could tell my ovaries were back "online". I don't have experience with HRT but from some of the posts I've seen it seems that you have to get acclimated. That being said I would contact the dr anyway. Not necesarily for anti D's because I wouldn't want those either if its hormonal. But maybe that is info that is needed for s/he to know you may need your dosage tweeked. Like I said just a thought and hopefully another more experienced sister will be by soon to put in her

I hear you. I am sorry you are going through this.

I had my tubes tied 6 months before my hyst and I feel the same way. Didn't want more kids, now sad I can't have the kids I didn't want to have in the first place.

And worst is I feel like a stranger in my own body. It just doesn't fit right.

Sending a hug, I hope anti-depressants help. If not, maybe therapy. That's what I am being encouraged to do.

I feel the same way like a stranger in my own body and yes nothing excites me anymore and that is tough since I have a six yr old who is counting on mommy, I do therapy and I will try 5-htp a natural product that is supposed to lift your mood and supposed to enhance your well being I will try it just because it is natural and not addictive (given to women with pms symptoms and I know even teenage girls even take it) worth a try because I cannot stay like this, waiting to snap out of it! had a TAH kept ovaries, and thought I would be fine (hormones) this is all too much, I thought it was all a 6-8 wk ordeal and then zap back to normal soooo not the case.

Guess things will get better with time.

Good luck to all and thanx for the support.
xoxo
