(((Mag))) I know where you are coming from I really do!!! I have been through so much with my family having cancer and my husband at the time with his illnesses....I was the strong one...until my sister had her cancer for the third time!!! I lost it then and I couldn't be the strong one anymore for anybody!!!! You are not alone sweetie!!!! My house used to look like WW2 hit it and then some!!! I didn't care anymore!!! It was hard enough to take care of myself let alone others. So please do not be so hard on yourself!!! Take the advice others have given you and call the dr and see about getting some anti depressants. They work wonders!!!!!!! :-)

Wow, you have had several major surgeries over the past few months - be kind to yourself!!! Surgeries can affect people different ways, but 3 of them - I understand why you feel out of kilter. I can not stress enough taking that first step and getting outside, into the sunshine, and just walking. Maybe not far, but just getting outside and walking to the end of your street or road and back. Walking will lift your spirits and help you rest at night.
Please do not cut yourself off from others that will be supportive (but do cut yourself off from toxic people) - let them help you.
I, too, had parents that really didn't want to hear my opinion - anything I said was considered back talk and to this day I have a hard time giving my opinion because I feel people aren't interested or I will look stupid. I get in my head that my opinion is not valuable, or as valuable at other's opinions. Just my head talking and I need to stop listening to it!!!
This board is a place to come and express opinions, ask questions and seek help.
I'm glad you chose to post here.
Sounds like you may need some mild antidepressents, too. Nothing wrong with that and nothing to be ashamed of.
Hope you feel better.

Mag,
No magic cure here. Wish I had one. I know I was on an emotional roller coaster for several months following surgery. My doctor said the rapid weight loss causes excess hormones to be released along with the fat. Not female hormones specifically but all kinds
Part of the problem for me was that in the past I handled those raw emotions with FOOD and I no longer was using that crutch. I think it's great advice to get back to your 12 step program. Also walk, talk, share with someone that you trust.
For me, just getting it out helps. I tend to think I am a tough cookie (NOT) and that I can handle everything without help from anyone. So far from the truth that I can not believe that I continue to try! Best wishes, hang in there. It's so worth it.
