I week to go and my emotions are over the top

I have emotional swings sometimes anyway, not related to any cycle since I had a hysterectomy 22 years ago and early menopause, but it started yesterday and I feel it building...I am soooo emotional, I feel I could cry about anything. Did anyone else get that way getting closer to surgery? I think Jessica's experiences yesterday started it....I just felt so badly for her.

I haven't had any real swings yet, but I have warned Mr Mo that as it gets closer watch out because I will probably be riding my broomstick at full tilt! I am still in that alternating excited/nervous/anxious/terrified state. And today on top of everything else, I get to go for my annual mammogram, but I figured it's late enough, that I can't put it off until I feel like going after my surgery. Hang in there Sally, it will all be worth it in the end. Hugs, Mo

I was having the emotional problems for a couple months (crying every time I looked at my kids and hubby kind)and now I'm not emotional at all just real irritable... My kids seem to be driving me nuts, my husbands stinky feet are ******g me off, its like I don't even want any one to come near me and I'm not even pmsing... Can't wait for this to be over and done with! Kelley 3 more sleeps

Well you don't have long to go! But I am right there with you, just do it!

Sally, I went through what you are going through about a week before surgery and until the day of. It is all nerves. My poor hubby couldn't stand me. It seems now my attitude has totally changed though...even from before that week. Thank God Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler 7 Days into NewPouch and feeling great! A riddle a day will keep the Marchers pounds AWAY!

Oh, sure, I cried about it all. I even wept at commercials and cheesy TV, how embarrassing. I wept in front of my lawyer discussing provisions for my children in my will. (Fortunately, an estate planning lawyer has seen it all, I am sure, way beyond my little display.) I have always been somewhat like that but it was in neon. I would put on my meditation tape, so that I could chill out. There's nothing wrong with feeling your feelings, however. Stay in each moment and try to stop you mind from taking on EVERYTHING by taking 3 deep breaths and visualizing something great you are going to do after surgery. It's a fine line between relaxing with what you're feeling (good for you) and spiraling down (not so good for you). BTW, I've had a tough week since my surgery, not from the surgery but from an unrelated infection I developed after. It's now coming in line, but it's just workable to handle moment to moment. (Cried through that one, too.) And now today the sun is out and I feel better and I think I'll take a walk and all that stuff. To congratulate myself on getting through all this junk, I upgraded my condo in Hawaii next month to an ocean view. (After all, we won't have much of a restaurant bill, ha!) Now that the surgery is over, it frees so much of my mind to put on other things and that is GREAT. You will love having done all this work and spent all this time and getting to the good part. Gano

I am feeling very emotional also. Today, it feels more like depression. I don't know why. I have all my pre-op tests complete, and I am just waiting for Monday to come around. I did find out yesterday (from my pre-op tests) that I am diabetic. I am hoping it won't be an issue after surgery. I guess maybe that is why I am down today. My daughter has a cold, and some people at work have been sick, so I have been worried about catching something before the surgery, and then my surgeon telling me I can't have it on Monday. I wish I could stop worrying about everything.

I tell you, it is the week-before syndrome. I tried to warn you!! It should be documented!! It will get better by this weekend for most. Joy

I am so with you woman. Ive gone through almost every imaginable emotion this week and it's only Tuesday. Luckily Ive had my mom around to hug me and I have the most awesome nephew he is only six and today he saw me crying. He went outside and picked some dafodils and gave them to me gave me a big hug and said "Everything is going to be ok auntie" He is so excited about me having surgery. He has been telling everyone. I know this is something I NEED to do for me. But somethings we NEED to do can just be so dang scarey.

DAffodils?? there aren't any blooming up here in Illinois...you are lucky. We'll make it...next month we'll be laughing about this....hopefully
