The honest truth for me

WORTH IT$6,450
Good afternoon ladies! I wanted to share something a little more on the serious side. I have struggled with major depression in the past and have been on meds to control it. I went off my meds in 2012 as I didn't feel I needed them anymore. Most of my depression is onset by situations. However, 10 weeks after my BA, I felt the very familiar feelings of depression. I was unmotivated, anxious, sad and very irritable. I stayed quiet about it for another 4 weeks before I talked to my husband who encouraged me to see my family doctor. He put me back on my meds. I'm sharing this because I am sure that all the hype and aftermath from my surgery led me into this latest funk. Don't get me wrong, I have zero regrets about my surgery and would do it again. But, I share this for the pre-BA women who have shared my struggle so you can plan ahead and prepare for anything similar that you might experience. Just me being a little transparent.

Thank you for sharing. I can relate as I haven't struggled with depression, but have had intermittent struggles with severe anxiety disorder and some of the things surrounding surgery have brought back some of that intermittently. It is better now..but I had to recognize it for me to start cognitively dealing with it overcoming it again. Glad you are open to going on meds. They are not a life sentence and can simply "reset" things so that eventually you will be able able to go off of them again if you choose. The most important thing is that you are self aware so that you can be on a path to feeling better! Xoxo
Great advice! I def know how awful anxiety can be and am glad that my meds take the edge off of that too. I have went for as long as 3 years in between episodes so I'm glad to know I won't be down forever! Love my boobs but the excitement and then "let down" of it being over def put me over the edge. Xoxo
Thank you. I didn't sort important stuff out at the time of my ba in 2006. No melds would have helped so I don't regret my surgery either. What I went through until Sept 2015 may have helped me shake the stuff off. I'll be very mindful next time. Also with regard to depression. It may just creep in.
Thank you once again. I'm sure it'll help many of us.
I'm so glad to be of any help. It does creep in and then all at once and that miserable feeling is no fun. I don't even have a good excuse because I am very happy with my BA. I just am prone to this problem :(
I have to say that I think it is quite possible that I have been feeling the same way, but may be in denial about it! I am happy with my decision to do the BA and am upset i didn't get my wish look. However I have been struggling in all areas of my life, work, home etc...I am starting to come to terms with the fact that it's me and my attitude :( thanks for sharing Hun Xoxox
It's certainly possible that a less than desirable outcome could contribute to depression. There have been times I have simply felt depressed over something understandable but when I'm depressed over nothing bad I know I'm in trouble. You may be experiencing appropriate disappointment or you may be in a bigger slump like I was. Def see a doctor if it doesn't improve because life is too short to be depressed. Sending good vibes your way!
Thanks so much for sharing. I know you aren't the only one and I also know it can be very confusing when it happens on top of everything else. I hope your meds kick in quickly and you feel better. Sending positive thoughts.
Thanks so much! Feeling so much better now. Appreciate your positive thoughts!
Thank you for sharing. I have been on and off medication for depression since I was diagnosed with post partum depression after my first baby 12 years ago. I have been on medication since the birth of my 3rd almost 3 years ago. I can relate to those feelings of no motivation, sadness and irritability well. I'm glad you saw your doctor for it.
Thanks for sharing your story! I'm glad I'm not alone. I haven't had kids and I have no doubt that I would also struggle with post partum. Question - how did you feel while you were pregnant? I have fears of getting pregnant and then having to go off my meds and crashing.

I am still so happy I decided to do this. Once I hit 3 months I started to feel less anxious about my results. I will have another post op in January and will let everyone know how it goes!

I'm glad you started to feel less anxious about your breasts when you hot the 3-month mark. You really look beautiful and can see you have dropped considerable and now how matching upper pole fullness. Your breasts isn't way up into your neck, so to speak. You look beautiful and please do keep us updated, sexy lady! Love you, friend...xoxo
Lordy, excuse all my typos. Let me rephrase: you have dropped considerably and now have matching upper pole fullness/breasts! So sorry about the typos. There are more grammar errors I can see, but I'm know you get the point. :-)
Thanks so much my dear! I am sorry I haven't updated much. Life has a way of getting in the way. Lol. Love you!
They look great!!! Happy healing to you xoxo
Thank you!!
You look great!! I'm so glad to hear you are feeling so happy. It's funny how that anxiety fades as time goes by, but I'm glad it is fading for you.
Yes it sure does fade and I'm so glad for that. It was bad for a while!

Tata. Looking great! I can see they have evened out a lot! I know you must be ecstatic. I hope to follow right behind you. I'm at 9 weeks now and am so glad you are my real friend. :-)
Oops my response went to the top!

Thanks so much girl! I have seen such a difference in these last couple weeks and I'm sure you will too. I tried to put it out of my mind and that helped for sure. Time went by quicker that way too :) Keep us updated!!
Im happy that things are still "moving" for you at 2 months post op... gives me hope mine will drop a little more!
im glad to give you hope! I now understand the 3 month mark as the real results. :)
Holy Wowsers is more like it! You are one heck of a sexy lady with a pair of the sexiest boobies on this site! You are just gorgeous and I am so happy your breast dropped and now matches the other one perfectly! Amazing, isn't it? Patience is all it generally takes for the results we hope for, but so hard to do sometimes. So very HAPPY for you and be well my friend...xoxoxo
You are so sweet my friend! You sure now how to make a gal feel loved! Thank you so much :) I hope you are feeling better. Please keep us updated!! Xoxo
Awww, sweetie, you simply are so beautiful. I'm glad my words made you feel good. It's all truth and nothing but the truth. ;-) I will indeed keep you updated. I have an appointment October 6th with a new surgeon. All my records have already been transferred, so I am no longer with my surgeon. Looking forward to seeing the new one. If I don't like his opinion, I will be consulting with a surgeon I found on this site. I've talked to a member of his staff a few times, so we shall see and I will be sure to keep you informed. Love you my dear friend, and enjoy those beauties! Muahhh xoxo
They look fantastic!!!
Thanks girl!!
They look great! Almost at that 3 month milestone they talk about.
Glad they settled into symmetry for you :)
Thank you!! Yes this 3 month mark thing truly is legit! I am so impatient so this has been hard for sure :)
