{{{{{{Lorie}}}}}} I could have written what you wrote about depression and anxiety right after surgery and how mentally unprepared I was for it, even though I thought I was. But, as you kow on your brain, it does get sooooo much better. For me, the turning point was at just about five weeks out. Now, a little over a year and a half later, I wouldn't have traded my surgery for anything! My doctor gave me xanax to help withthe anxiety. I also started taking my wellbutrin again, which helps a lot too. I am thinking of you and know that you will have the strength to stick it out for a few more weeks, and the happiness will come back. Take care!!!!
