3 more days til surgery, and for some reason a funk/depression is overwhelming me. Dont know what the heck it is, but my wife noticed. Just dont know whats going on or why this would be happening......

any guidance?

Its probably just a reaction to your pre-surgery nerves. Are you feeling completely positive about your op? I'm bipolar so suffer from depression regularly and its horrible. But it doesn't tend to land on you very suddenly so I think you'll probably be feeling much more positive tomorrow.

Remember the golden rules of treating anxiety / depression / stress

face your fears

be more active

watch the booze

hope this helps, and good luck with your op, I'm having mine the same day!

Hey Dblex,

I hear you. My surgery is on Wednesday and I am typically the "eternal optimist" and today I'm in a definate funk. Now that

"the" day is almost here, I find myself, second guessing (which isn't me by nature - I make a decision and follow through), but this is forever. And I think we're only human for the mental

gymnastics we're going through. Hang in there - we can do this.

You could be mourning the lifestyle that you are giving up. You know there is a big change on the horizon and change can be scary. That is how I felt.

I think your right Leigha.....

Saying goodbye to something......and scare/excited about the other......
