IF you are in a critical spot, you can text the CrisisTextLine, 741741. It's free, confidential and highly trained counselors who are also mandated reporters, in case you are in danger. They will help you through immediate crisis, and assist you in gathering local resources. I have volunteered with them for about 2 years, since retirement.
I am hoping that my post op experience will be positive, regardless of the physical issues. I'm praying for a new lease on life! And I have done lots of research, gathered recipes, sort of previewed in my mind situations that have been past triggers for eating.
Many people with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and/or MDD feel less anxious when they feel they have more control. So organizing and planning has been a good tool for me to get through.
That said, tomorrow is my surgery! Will be praying for each of you to feel better in your hearts/soul.
Thank you for the tip! I have been feeling pretty out of control lately this I’ll give that a try. I think that’s a big part of my anxiety.
Good luck on your surgery! Will pray for you for a quick recovery!

I'm almost 1 week post op and I've been having really bad anxiety and some depression. How did you feel after your surgery?
What was your mental state after surgery?

Glad to hear everything I'm feeling is pretty normal. Thank you for your sweet reply!
