does anyone ever think that depression will hit after surgery ? instead of being happy about the beginning of a new life for some reason that crosses my mind first. unless it's fear of thinking that you can actually be happy and that's okay. thoughts anyone?

i'm supposed to be getting my surgery in september. i am very excited but for some reason i feel like the days that go by is surreal. i definitely am thinking too much!! i can't be the only one ...

You and I have such similar thoughts that its actually really good to know I'm not the only one. I started this process in early 2016 and quit because of this exact fear. I jumped back in and had to start from the beginning early 2017 and with the process of serious soul searching I have found how deep my mental addiction is to food and the void I fill with food. It's Absolutley a mind game and being in your head to much. I found that we are capable of changing this cycle. Each time I wanted to eat because of any emotion I replaced it with a good playlist and hit the trail walking. I'm not delusional and realize it's still going to b a struggle but I also know i have other avenues to fill that void. You and I are much stronger than we think and much stronger than this addiction. .
