I kept my ovaries, i don't understand. has anyone on the board ever heard of anyone having post op psychosis...please help me, I don't know what to do. I feel suicidal, and I don't want anyone to touch me. What happened. What happened? One minute I feel good, okay, like I can get a shower, and the next I feel poweless, like I cant make it. I should be in a hospital, but then I feel like I cant breathe...I don't undestand. I called my doctor he said the surgery was straight forward, everything should be fine, but it isnt fine, it isnt fine at all. I'm 39, I have seven kids, my baby 1s 12, I have a new car, but all my clothes are packed and I slept in my car the last two nights and got picked up by police. now I'm home, locked in my room...why am I like this becuase i had my uterus removed?

Re: can someone please help me

Thats just it, I cant be strong for anyone...inside my skin is crawling...I really think I should be in the hospital. I really wanted to know if anyone else has ever seen this happen before. Can any of the seasoned board memebers please tell me if this may be a side effect of medication, maybe ,y ovaries are in shock, something...I don't know if I can hang on...I actually took more meds than I should have yesterday, I'm not okay, but if I can know if this has happened to others and that maybe I just need medical help...

Re: can someone please help me

I think you need to go to the ER and tell them you are having suicidal thoughts and that you just had a hysterectomy. You are obviously unbalanced hormonally and it's messing with your mental well being. I know I'm a mess to but not in a suicidal way. I'm working on getting this figured out too. You might need to be on some kind of antidepressant which is what I was on until I took myself off after my surgery. I figured I would start with nothing in my system and go from there but looks like I can't do without them. But please get to the hospital because those are not good thoughts and you need to be mentally healthy for your children.

It's time to call 911 and get an emergency evaluation. It could be post-traumatic stress, it could be sudden surgical menopause, but it doesn't sound like you are making long term decision well. Are you alone? I think you need immediate support - please reach out.

Re: can someone please help me

I know my husband said the tylox was making me crazy and after stopping it three days ago..i feel more to myself. Try just Ibuprofen. Medication will indeed make you feel that way. I have a drug addicted sister so Im aware that this is true. Try Ibuprofen 800 mg. Thats what Im on now. Its not as GOOD..but it allows you to bear pain and be yourself. Give it time.I felt crazy a few days ago..wanted to choke my husband..but they said my ovaries were asleep from the surgery and when they wake up your levels get right or something. Now all is good...patience is the essence I believe..Trust in God! You can do it!

Re: can someone please help me

I understand what you are going through. Both of my ovaries were removed. When I got to 2 weeks, I think the anesthesia started to leave my body and I was able to stop taking my prescription pain meds. I thought I was going nuts. I am 44 - I have 3 kids. I began crying one night and couldn't stop - it scared my husband so much that he called the doctor and asked what he could do to help me. I am 7 weeks post op now and I had a bad night last night, more crying, more anger, more hopelessness, more not wanting to go on. IT has happened to me and I think it must not be an uncommon thing. Just take it one day at a time, and keep coming back to this site for support. I hope things get better for you. I keep trying day by day to get through the process of acceptance of my surgery and it's outcome.

Re: can someone please help me

I agree with the other women, please don't try to get through it alone. Call 911 for help or get to ER. I pray things get better for you. You're not alone!

Re: Please help ASAP

You need to go to the emergency room ASAP, one with a psych unit if possible. It sounds like you could be having a psychotic-type reaction or severe panic attacks. It's most likely a temporary side effect of the trauma you've been through. Suicidal thoughts are nothing to mess around with! This sudden and severe change in your behavior needs to be addressed...be assured you'll be just fine, all you need to do is seek help. It's probably as simple as going on an anti-depressant short-term until you feel better. We're all here for you! Please, please let us know how you are doing!
