I'm an emotional wreck

IDK of I've posted on the right place did anyone experience crying and fear of being lonely after surgery I know it's normal but how did you cope with this?

Burning fat releases estrogen, so you are correct that it is common to have crazy emotions. As for dealing with them, just remember it is not permanent, and it will get better. If you are completely overwhelmed, there is no harm in seeing a psychologist.

I get it, I just moved to a new city and I will probably have to take an uber to and from the hospital because I dont know anyone. Im scared of being lonely too.

My hubby went out of town a day after I came home from surgery! I came to this group a lot for support. And I played a lot of mindless bubble popping games lol

Wow, that must be so hard! I'm sorry. Everything I have read in my surgeon's instructions say that you will not be discharged without someone else with you. Have you cleared that with your surgeon? I would hate for you to get a surprise on the day of surgery.

No, I havent. But I thought they just meant unless you have a ride because you arent supposed to drive?

[shericrazylady 113]

I think maybe it's because of the medications. I had my mum take me home as partner doesn't drive but I feel like you need that support because it's an emotional rollercoaster until you work out what's going on and getting in your new routine.some people are different though some won't be emotional

I wish you all the best. Thus group has been a good support to me because not all my friends and family understand what this feels like. So emotionally, just try to stay focused and do reach out to people that have similar issues and that may help. I'm 5 days post op and I'm doing well. I do have a lot of support but I'm Journaling to help with emotions!!
