Feeling low in mood, had my hysterectomy in April but following this i am very emotional 

  • Hi 

    Sorry to hear you're feeling low, have you got anyone you can talk to. I hope you feel better soon. 

  • Thank you Sbird, I have good and bad days, just trying to keep it together. It’s difficult when your family see you as the strong one. I will get there I’m sure. 

    1. Sorry to hear your feeling low at the moment. I’ve not had my surgery yet so I’m not able to offer you any proper answers but I think if you just remember that this situation isn’t for ever and each day brings you closer to being back to yourself. Do you have any future projects to focus on? I’m going to be a grandma again in October so that’s my focus for recovery. You sound like you’re normally a strong woman but even super hero’s need a bit of time off. It’s called self care Look after yourself x
  • Thank you Dormouse, nice to hear you’re going to be a Grandma again enjoy! Hope your surgery goes well. 

  • Hi Shz15

    I am sorry to hear that you are feeling low in mood after your hysterectomy in April. 

    I know with me, everything can happen so fast when having a diagnosis and treatment for cancer. I know that when my treatment ended- it was the first time that I had a chance to process everything. It is normal to feel pretty emotional.

    We do have the Support Line there from 8am-8pm everyday if you feel like talking things through would help. 

    They can also have a look to see if there is anything local to you which you might be interested in. 

    I did the HOPE course through Macmillan 6 months ago and found that helpful. I will pop a link in case you want to know more.

    It may also be worth talking to your CNS to see whether any counselling may help.

  • Thank you ..I will definitely look at this 

  • Hi there 

    Sorry to hear you a feeling low.

    I think sometimes things can feel like it's surreal. Like it's happening so quick,our emotions can't keep up with body changes.

    Alot has happened and it's ok to feel low.

    They say it takes time to heal emotionally too. You not on your own. It's good to talk how we feel.

    Just take one day at a time.
