I can't stop crying over my upcoming hysterectomy

My surgery is tuesday. I am feeling this overwhelming sense if sadness. I have no appetite,can't sleep, and feel so hopeless. What can I do HELP😔😔 I have cried allday for the past 2 days.

It's perfectly normal to feel this way. I know the couple of crying spells I had before my surgery came out of the blue. I had a crying spell after surgery as well, as I attributed it to stress and hormones.
Keep coming here for support and encouragement...we sisters are here to help!! I know that the sisters helped me immensely and still continue to do so.
Any question or issue you may have, you can bring it here. My prayers and thoughts are with you, and I know you will be fine. Go easy on yourself these next few weeks....you need & deserve it.
Please keep us posted & let us know how you are doing

I understand. I've been crying for the past couple of months, My surgery is April 15th. The crying fits come out of nowhere.

It is a profound sense of sadness and loneliness...sort of a "why me feeling".

It happens and I am learning that it is ok.

I am thinking of you and will be praying for you.

I agree with Deni64, keep coming to this site for support.

It helps to let out your feelings and hear from people who are going through the same thing and truly understand you.

All the best!

Hi there
I keep having weird dreams about my surgery due on April 10th. I am sleeping but wake up soooooo tired as my brain is working overtime when I'm asleep
I try to keep myself busy during the day, I have chickens which take up most of my time luckily.
I will be sending you some happy thoughts....you never know it might help x x

Thank you😃

On top of my surgery on April 10 my husband and I separated 3 weeks ago. I have been having bad panic attacks and not able to function normally (grabbing for the soap to brush my teeth). I was not able to find a cure. My counsellor just told me to take it day by day. I was already trying that and many other things.

One day I decided that my emotions were hurting me too much. So I decided to just get mad. Mad a the milk that went bad, mad at the trash as I was throwing away, got mad at any item that I was dealing with. (Note: Do not get mad at your support team. Explain why you are acting mad and that you are not mad at them but trying to control your crying and your worries.) The problem was I could not stay that way 24/7 and go into surgery mad.

So what I did is take anything I did not have control over and things I did not need to deal with now and visualize a file cabinet in my head and put the bad feelings and worries in it. Mind over matter as my mom says.

I also asked my husband to help me get through this and put our issues on hold. He has given me what I need and more. I fully understand most husbands do not understand what to do with a weeping wife (mine included). So you need to lay it on the line for him. "I need to be held." ect.

If you are not in a relationship at this time talk with your support team. It’s hard to think of it this way but you are almost to the first finish line. You can do this.

I am continuing to pray for all of my sisters, in whatever stage they are in....I just had my six week checkup and all restrictions have been lifted!
But, I do not want to forget about this whole experience and want to utilize it in any facet of my daily living....I remember all to well how frightened I was six weeks ago this morning, so hang in there sisters!!
