emotions..

so. i guess i kinda need to rant, need to make sure i'm not the only one going through this. i've had depression for going on 10 years. about 10 months before my surgery i was able to stop taking my anti depressants and felt absolutly wonderful. and finally felt like i won the battle. after my surgery 2 months ago, i fell into a deep depression because i was so sick. i was expecting my emotions to kinda be crazy because i've read so much about it. but its 2.5 months later, and i still find myself having a night like tonight where i just cry and cry. theres so many days where i'm overwhelmed with happiness and thankfulness for the surgery. and then something bothers me. and i lose it. and the holidays now being here, it's worse.


anyway. did you guys go through periods where your emotions were like out of wack? I really am hoping to get back to the day where i feel as if i have control again, as soon as possible.


end random rant.

For me, the hands down hardest part of loosing weight has been the emotional aspect of it. It seems like the more pounds you shed, the more emotions come out. The fat seemed to be burying a lot more than just a slimmer figure (at least with me), and I was a complete disaster for the first 4 months at least, and am still a disaster on a lot of days. I'm on meds now and doing better, but its been rocky and I'm in counseling and dealing with a lot of issues I didn't even realie I had until I started dropping sizes like mad.

You're not crazy. You're not irrational. You're going through a major life change and that can make any one feel emotional. It WILL get better, I promise. But don't be afraid to ask for help.

I do not know if you are a Christian or what your beliefs are, but when I am having a bad day or I am feeling down I take it to the Lord. I always feel so much better after talking to him and telling him what is on my mind.  I know that may not be the answer you are looking fo but it is great to know I ALWAYS have HIM!
Hope you feel better soon!  You are going to be fine and look GORGEOUS!!!!!

 hi i def had a very hard time for 2-3 months after surgery i was soo depresed. like thinking this surgery didn´t worth it i wasnt losing any weight. and feeling like i was gonna die lol. i know crazy. but it has to do with the anestesia and all the changes. hang in there you would be back to normal i no time.
if you have been on depression medicine before call your dr. maybe ur hormones are all over the place because of the surgery.
take care. 
hugs.

thanks guys. good to know this won't last forever, and i'm not crazy :)
