Loneliness whilst recovering from Hysterectomy

Care! 100%. You're worth getting through this. You're enough. You deserve to recover and get well.

I'm so sorry that the people around you can't put aside their differences to be there for you. I hope they sort themselves out.

Christmas is basically over, barring eating all the leftovers... Then new year, fresh new days, longer days as we head back towards summer. Things will perk up.

And if they don't perk up ... come here and vent about it and we'll all be there for you. Stamp and shout and cry if you need to. Do whatever you need to release. Then roll up sleeves and crack on cos so many people I know who've got thru / past this have said how important a positive attitude is (along with, obviously, all the actual treatment).

Any bad day is a blip. Tomorrow will be new and as yet unknown. It can't be shit every day! Someone on one of the threads said it's turbulence, and I'm totally stealing that.

I hope that tomorrow is better for you, and the day after that better still xx

Thank you.

I dont know where to go what to do i have never felt this alone. And I was put in foster care at 2 so believe me when I say ive been lonely!!! 

I'd never do anything silly!! But that doesn't I dont think about just giving up why carry on!? Again I wouldn't do anything im just so sick of feeling like this and no one can help
