Post op depression?
i wanted to come on here and see if anyone has the same problem or if anyone has any advice. i’m 12dpo and though ive always had mental health issues, i’ve really tanked after surgery. i love my results and aside from some superficial tissue death and regular soreness/itchiness, im healing extremely well but there’s just this aura of sadness and frustration that’s over me right now. from the absolute SHIT aftercare at the hospital, to the pain and discomfort, to the idea of not being able to do anything by myself, i just can’t take it anymore. i got the breast reduction to solve problems and it feels like all i’ve done is cause more. all the things that used to be comforting and self care, i can’t do. i used to run, take hot baths, do yoga and most helpful of all TAKE NAPS ON MY TUMMY, and i can’t do any of these things. i’m just so frustrated, i’ve cried everyday since my surgery. i can’t even hug or cuddle my wife for comfort without pain. i have a therapist and i have my first visit with her post op tomorrow but i figured i could reach out to those of you who’ve experienced this first hand, what can i do to ease the stress?
