Ok...why I am depressed?

What is wrong with me? I go to the castle tomorrow at 6 AM. I have really been looking forward to this surgery. Well...you know what I mean. Not the surgery itself, but not having my pain in the neck uterus anymore.

So why am I so depressed today? I mean *depressed*. Can't motivate myself to do anything, and so much needs to be done. I have 5 kids, so it is not the fact that I will be unable to have more children, even though that has crossed my mind a few times. I bleed at least half of each month. I have begged the doc for this for 6 months....so what is the freakin problem?

I was depressed about it myself the day before. My emotions are still outta whack but I am doing alright otherwise. I know that waiting is the HARDEST part but just take some deep breathes and it will be over beofre you know it. Hope you have a speedy recovery I'll say a prayer for you. HUGS!!!

I know what you mean. I don't plan on having any more kids either, but the thought has crossed my mind as well. And it is depressing - the whole thing. But then when I get those nasty cramps and think about all of the other things that made me tell the doctor to just take it (uterus) out - I can't wait to get it done. I don't know why it is upsetting, it just is. A good friend told me that it is just part of being a woman. Kinda hard for me to swallow b/c I want to know exactly why it is upsetting, but I am thankful that my uterus did its job up until now, and I'm ready to let it retire. Good luck tomorrow!!! I will be thinking of you! : )

- Salam (peace)

get soem sleep and try not to worry. It is your body getting ready for the surgery. I will also ask are you taking something for this? please talk to some one even if you only talking too your dr. plus with 5 kids !! I'd be a bit fretfull. try to let things slide and get plenty of rest and eat write. good luck

I dont think there is anything wrong with you, in fact I think it is quite appropriate to be a little down prior to your surgery. All though it sounds like it has been tough on you lately, that uterus has served you well, giving you your 5 kids. It's hard to say good bye to an organ you have lived with forever.

Take care and I hope you find peace - let us know how you are doing.
