Why so emotional???

Whew! And here I thought I was "losing it"! Every since I found out that I had to have this surgery i have been a big ball of emotions and it is driving me crazy! I am so glad it is not just me.

Im not usually a "crier", but sheesh, it seems like just THINKING about this surgery has me in tears and I have no idea why. Its not the havong surgery part or any of the things most people say it is, I honestly have no clue why I am so weepy. **** hormones??

Hope all goes well for you!

I am so greatful to all of you for your words of support and for knowing that I am not the only one who is reacting this way. It helps more than you know!

Many of us, myself included have done the same thing you are going thru. It is a major change not just a major surgery. So many personal questions run through your mind, Am I going to survive being put in menopause, how will I react to it etc. My biggest one was I was going to be a new woman, but would I be a better woman? I dont have the answer to that yet at 8 days post op, but I believe already that yes I am going to be a better woman. I am pain free. I am not always yelling at the teens, I feel so much better physically. Would I make this same choice again if I had to YES in a heartbeat.

I am also very emotional right now. Whereas I usually am a very "hard" person, I feel like a big baby at times. The wrong question or remark puts me over the top and into a depression where I just go in my room to be alone. I feel like nobody understands, then I come here and know that I really am not alone. My emotions got so bad that I asked my dr if there was something that I could do to help me. He told me to go to my regular dr and explain the situation. I did and that dr put me on Wellbutrin for the depression. It seems to be working just fine. I know that when this is all over, I will be back to myself again! (it just seems like it is a world away)
