Hello, It’s been 7 weeks since my lap and my symptoms are all starting to come back, the gyne has still not made me an appointment since my lap and I’m fed up with chasing it up, the pain is becoming unbearable again. I have a history of depression and an eating disorder and I just feel like the emotional side of this is starting to bring it all back I just feel so depressed I can’t put up with this pain anymore it’s affecting my work my social life and my relationship has anyone got any advice on how to keep sprits up and deal with the pain? I just am at a loss with what to do with myself

Lots and lots of gentle hugs. I relate a lot as I went through the wringer a bit after my surgery back in July and did my first 2 hours in the office today to start my return to work.
I found just setting my self tiny achievable goals helped, just one a day eg make the bed nicely . Walk the dog a little further than I did before. Drive to a pretty place I like visiting on a sunny day. I use a SAD lamp now the days have drawn in. I have also started breathing exercises and a meditation class online which helps with relaxation which helps reduce tension which aggravates the experience of pain. Drugs don't help me unfortunately.
