rage, cry, repeat cycle...when does this end?

OMG when does this psychotic cycle of extreme rage and extreme crying end?? This along with all the other reasons is why I had my hysterectomy to end this medically wacked PMS (PMDD) and now I am feeling worse. I am a little more than 6wks and thought by now my ovaries would have adjusted and gotten back with the program. When is it time to cry uncle and call the Dr and ask for help? I have been on Welbutrin for a long time so its not anti depressants that I need but thinking I need some hormones even though I still have my ovaries. I was reading a newspaper article about somebody having problems and my eyes were welling up. My husband told me last night that I am worse than I was which was such a shock because I actually thought I was a nicer calmer person other than crying all the time until this morning when I went from zero to 100 on the rage scale at an employee who interrupted me to ask for reorder of supplies. I am ashamed of who I am right now. In such a dark place today.

Ok all through that diatribe my one question is, is it ok that at 6.5wks my emotions are still in havok?

I am having the swings as well. .its awful..just feel like sobbing!!! I hope it adjusts soon

I think it is time that you talk to your doctor. Just because you kept your ovaries, it doesn't mean that they are working properly. Most of the time, the blood supply to them gets disrupted during a hysterectomy.

This diagram explains how the blood supply to the uterus and ovaries can differ for various women. According to the info in the diagram, 56% of women have their ovaries get their blood supply from both the uterine and ovarian arteries. 40% of women have the blood supply come from the ovarian artery only and 4% get the blood supply to their ovary from the uterine artery only.

During surgery, the uterine artery is cut so you can see how the blood supply gets disrupted. For the 4% that have only the uterine artery providing the blood supply, it would logically seem that if that blood supply gets cut off, then the ovary would stop functioning. And for the other 56%, it would take time for the ovary to get used to have only part of its blood supply. I would assume that the 40% would be the ones feeling the least of the effects.

I am not a doctor but I think that my assumptions make sense when one views the diagram. I hope this helps. Please talk to your doctor and keep us posted.
