Down day

[Remy18]

Hi ladies,

I’m posting just to vent really and try and get it out so it won’t feel so bad.

It’s been a real roller coaster recently. I’m still waiting on a date for my lap, going through redundancy and stressful home life. The pain is on and off, when it’s on I just want to die. I feel so low all the time, I’m taking anti depressants anyway but I’m so sick of going through the ups and downs. Life is difficult and there seems so be no let up at all.

I’m worried about my symptoms, which are continuously worsening and changing. I’ve started passing out, nausea, pain, bleeding, no sex drive what so ever, trouble with irregular and unpredictable BMs. I just want answers, when I call my consultant she tells me I’m on a waiting list and will be in touch soon, but it’s been months and I haven’t heard a thing. It’s getting closer to the window of when she said I “should” get an appointment but still nothing. I can’t start searching for a new job because with the surgery and recovery time etc, I’ve no idea when I’ll be able to start and if I start taking time off for recovery will not reflect well as a new employee, it shouldn’t matter but we all know it does affect employers perceptions. I’m so stressed. I just don’t want to deal with it anymore. I’m exhausted. I just need a break.

Sorry for the long post, I just felt like I needed to let it all out and have no way to do it other than here. Love and support to everyone going through their shit, we are strong women who sometimes just need a rest from it all.
