Hi. I had a hysterectomy and I am only 34 years old. I can`t have kids. Luckily, I already have a child, but my husband and I were planning another baby. I am really depressed right now. What to do?

Hi. Depression after hysterectomy is perfectly normal. When you found out you can`t have babies any more it is normal you will feel lost and depressed. I had hysterectomy too (cancer of the uterus). I have no children and I never will. However, I feel lucky just to be alive. Don`t waste your time on feeling depressed, give some love and attention to your family. You have to think positive. You are really lucky you have a child. That is your comfort.

Depression after a hysterectomy is not "perfectly normal" although it is not unusual. Saying depression is feeling bad because "you can't have babies anymore" is patronizing--like a pat on the head, there there now.
Depression is not just "feeling bad" and should be taken very seriously, especially if it's been 2 years. Seeing a professional of your choice is the best route, someone who takes this seriously and can advise you on the best route for you, based on your health and situation. Depression is also physical and should be treated like any other serious medical problem.
Odd how so many forget that depression can be fatal. Get some help, depression also affects reasoning so one can think they can handle it alone. That's likely not the case. |
