Depression

[Paula1975]

Hi all, I'm now 3 months plus out and feeling a little low. Is this normal? Just feeling very emotional at the moment.

I think some depression or being down post surgery is normal. It's not a magic pill and I know I was very depressed before surgery so I'm not surprised to feel some of that coming back myself. Were you depressed before your surgery? I felt pretty good around 3 months and until recently but I'm very down at the moment. It's hard to put your finger on why when a lot of good things are still happening. I actually read the other day that certain deficencies can lead to low mood, tiredness, forgetfulness etc. All things I'm experiencing, is that how you are feeling? or do you feel there is a specific reason behind your feelings? Either way I would make an appointment to see you GP and have a general chat, they might have some good advice or want to do a check on your blood levels. Keep talking, hopefully it's a minor blip and you will be feeling brighter soon x

Maybe a little, not to the lengths that I needed medication, I'm hoping to see gp this week for the pain I've been getting between my shoulders, will speak to him about this too.
I've started my iron calcium folic yday along with my multiple vits so maybe as you say certain deficiencies may cause this so it might pick up.
I guess I'm still adjusting to new life a new me and it will take time

Yes its a strange time ladies, and you can be up and down. Just put on summat nice to wear bit of sparkle, favourite earrings, eye pod with your favourite music belting out, get your self a new hair cut lots of these small things can help, keep talking and laugh have fun it releives the stress. I have had a crap 2 years and now I am being made redundant in the new year. I can't eat what I used to and can't drink like I used to nor do I want to but so much has changed and is still to change, just have to keep on plodding forwards. Trying to stay positive but its difficult, so I will hold my head up high, smile sweetly be sickly nice to those who have stood on me and kicked me hard as they climbed on up and over me, keep on looking to the future and looking for answers of what my future may hold. I am thankful that I have a faith without it I maywell not have been here it is what drives me. I have endured lots of depression throughout my life been both carer and one who has had a bit of care. Be strong and face it head on cry if you need to, I have cried fair bit lately. To top it all my daughter just move dout yesterday an din with her fiancee, will miss her, bith kids gone now jus me n hubby left. Keep your chins up you can come n walk in my shoes for a week if you fancy it? have a good day girls stay strong and upbeat xx
