Unhappy Depressed

It has been 18 days since my surgery...and I am so very depressed. Always wanting to cry...feel so very sad. I see my general physician tomorrow and I wonder if she will prescribe anything for me...I can't stand the depression any more..

Post surgery depression is horrible. I have been there. Please be sure to ask for something when you see your doctor!

Hang in there!

Depression hurts and you have to be patient with yourself. Everything is temporary... This too shall pass...

Hugs
