Emotional

[rhia0901]

Hi all,

I had my first lap 3 months ago, and have noticed recently I've become far more emotional than before. So much so that I cried for the first time at work today - I have a generally very stressful job but have never cried at work before! Just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same thing after having a lap or whether it had affected people in a similar way?

It could be the anaesthetic? It's nothing to worry about but I've heard a general anaesthetic can have after effects on the brain for months even up to a year after. I looked into it because I've had 2 and both times when I came round I was hyper at first,really happy and packing my stuff up ready to go straight away, then crying hysterically! Although I wasn't even upset? Very strange! It will wear off if that's the case. It could be that but having endo sadly messes with your emotions anyway plus having the diagnosis can put a downer on things initially. Lots of us in same boat fret not! I hope your work are supportive. Xx

Thanks for your reply I'm normally such a happy, bubbly person but recently anything will make me emotional - and I don't even feel particularly sad about it, I just cry! I think you're right, it could be the effects of the anaesthetic (I was like you - so buzzing and feeling positive as soon as I came round from the anaesthetic) but is probably more to do with the endo itself - I had just assumed that as the lap was, by all accounts, successful, I would be given at least a few month's grace from it! I appear to have swapped the pain for emotions! Thankfully I have the most supportive boss which definitely helps, but it's still embarrassing when you burst into tears for no reason!
