Hi I had a total hysterectomy in 2005 when I was 26. I'm depressed, can't lose weight, always in a bad mood and can't sleep. Any suggestions

I've tried many things with no help. I can go on and on with many symptoms. I just want to feel good, by myself again.

Hi

Oh that's very young to have had to have had a total hysterectomy, I am not surprised you are depressed and in a bad mood. I guess you feel - why me - and also feel loss. Being unable to sleep must be making the feelings more difficult to cope with but is likely to be the result of your feelings about the hysterectomy being on your mind.

Have you had any support to deal with those feelings? If not then I would ask your GP to refer you for a period of counselling during which you can talk about how you are feeling in order to help you to come to terms with the situation.

Hi angel

I've just joined this community and read your message.

I hope you're feeling better now, i had full hysterectomy 19th June, 2 days after my twins 23rd birthday! (boy and girl)

After lots of tests and biopsies they found i had stage1a tumour.

I have a special poem that I give to people who are in need of some comfort and support and you definitely need it!

When angels sense you need them

And angels always do

They come unseen from everywhere

To help and comfort you

They hover close beside you

Till all your cares are gone

Till they can see you're ready

Once again to carry on

Then some of them fly away

And take their gentle touch

To other hearts that need the love

Of angels very much

But one at least stays with you

As your constant friend and guide

For guardian angels never leave you

They are always by your side!

Print it out and put it where you can get most comfort from it!

Take care, lots of gentle hugs and angel blessings xx
