Now I'm feeling the emotional part...

Hi all! Well, I knew it would eventually happen. I feel so emotional right now. I feel like crying for no real reason...well I have reasons but they are so dumb and I can't even believe I think up these things. I hate the way I'm feeling right now. Anyway, how are you guys doing? Anybody else feeling this way? I know Julie had shared she felt emotional a couple of months ago...How are you doing Julie? So I just thought I'd share...maybe it'll make me feel better or something . Elisa

Hi Elisa, It's good to see you How have you been besides emotional Sorry to say but I've been feeling this way for about 2 wks now. I haven't really cried too much but a lot of little stuff bothers me that never did before. I've been snippy with my daughters and my man...they think I'm crazy sometimes At first I thought it was hormonal (sp?) but I think its more then that. Another thing I've noticed, I lost my sex drive for a couple of months but I got it back Well I hope you feel better soon. Feel free to email me if you ever need to vent. Sylvia

Hi Sylvia, I'm doing pretty good besides the emotional part. I guess it was mostly yesterday that I was feeling like crying my eyes out and I did. I felt ok afterwards and I also had a talk with my hubby. He was real supportive and understanding. It's a weird thing because it feels like a whole mixture of feelings ranging from not feeling good enough (self-esteem wise) to feeling jealousy. I just can't explain why I have been feeling like that when I have no reason to. Thanks so much for your support, I knew I could count on you and all my OH friends. I will definitely send you an email if I feel blue again. Right now I'm ok. Elisa

Hi Elisa, I'm glad your feeling better today. We just have to take it one day at a time because we are going to have those emotional days that just seem unbearable sometimes. Well I'm always here if you need to chat. Have a great weekend! Sylvia

Morning Elisa, I am sorry that your feeling a little blue these days, but you know what, a good cry never hurt anyone!! Maybe you will feel better if you let it all out once and for all. I take an anti-depressant (since pre-op) so I don't know if I didn't get emotional due to that... BUT i hear ya Syl on the low sex drive. My hubby is going nuts, lol. I don't know if its from the anti-depressant med or from the rny but I do hope it comes back soon! Feel better Elisa!!! We love ya! Patrice

Hi Miss Pretty Patrice...love your new board pic . Thank you so much for you support. It means a lot to me. I did just let it out and cried last night and it seem to help ease the way I was feeling yesterday. Today I feel a lot better. My sex drive seems normal but the one thats a little low is my hubby's (shh I didn't say that ok? ) Thanks again! Elisa

So glad that I am not the only one ! I kept thinking that it was just cuz of having so many things going on !! We have been trying to pick out "our song" for the wedding and every song makes me cry. The other day when having lunch with my future in-laws I was a laughing crying nut ! I blamed it on too much sugar and they just stared at me kinda crazy. Fiancee asked when we got in the car if I was ok and what was really going on. Told him that it was just too many things on my mind... But I really didn't feel overwhelmed so it was strange ! Sex drive ... Hmmm he is a reallllllly happy man lately ! -Terri

Hi Terri! Oh man, these emotions come and go like waves. Somedays I'm feeling really good and other days I just want to bawl like a baby. My husband's really confused and I tried telling him that it was OK and he insisted that there was something wrong because people don't cry for no reason. I told him women do but I ended up talking with him about these crazy feelings I have and he understood. Anyway, thank you so much for your support and I am also very glad that I'm not the only one feeling this way. Elisa

I get "snippy" as my husband calls it every month right before my period since my surgery. I was never like that before. I agree that a good cry every now and again does wonders. I'm having a different problem right now. My husband has made several comments lately that have concerned me. My husband made the comment last week that he noticed that since my butt has been getting smaller that my skirts have been getting shorter and he's not sure he likes that. I'm not intentionally getting shorter skirts. It's just all the cute ones in my new size are shorter. I have some longer ones but it's been too hot. Then just yesterday when I mentioned that I wanted to get a spray on tan before we go on vacation, he got upset. He said he was concerned with my "excessive concern" about things like that. Well, he wasn't concerned two years ago when I got a spray on tan before we went on vacation. I don't know if I should be flattered that he's showing signs of being jealous or be upset that he might not trust me. (sigh) Terri

Hi Terri! Yes I also get a little "snippy" before my period but I think I've always been like that even before the surgery. I haven't had to deal with any jealousy on my husband's part. It's more like I'm the one feeling jealous. I hate that. I just make these comments that are sometimes uncalled for and after I say them I regret it because I know better. Its just that sometimes I can't help it. How strange that your husband didn't mind you getting a tan before and now he does. Did you comment that to him? What did he say? Thank you for your support, it means a lot to me. Elisa
