Hi , 

5 weeks ago I had a radical hysterectomy ( I kept my ovaries) . I'm struggling so bad with my emotions , i honestly feel depressed. These 5 weeks been such a struggle after op I was quite poorly and ended up in intensive care , after a week in hospital I came home for 4 days then ended back in hospital for another 10days with sepsis. My husband had the first 3 weeks off but obviously had to go back to work . Since him being at work iv had no help from family or friends , iv literally had to really struggle on with the kids and try and do as much as possible when I know I should of been resting. But I just can't seem to stop crying all the time . Iv never been this tearful for this long . I hurt physically, mentally and emotionally.

since being diagnosed with cervical cancer iv honestly felt so alone and isolated, it's like everyone runs from me as they don't know what to say , my husband has literally been my rock , I just loaded him with so much physically I can't bare to emotionally load him to 

  • Hello again I'm sorry no-one's been to chat as yet. Some forums are much busier than others. You could always read through some of the older posts here and just click to reply to join a conversation. There's no particular etiquette, we all join in - hence me popping over from the Womb group.

    It might be an idea to you to take a look at the Emotional support and discuss how you're feeling to other members. If you're depressed have a word with your GP to obtain some medication to help. You could also ask your GP to refer you for Counselling. You've been through a heck of a journey so far so just ask for help - it's there for you.

    Sending hugs again, B xx
