It's a known fact that even people with no previous history of depression can succumb to depression - often also called Post op blues. It's nasty when it hits but happily, for most it is only short lived.
There are several reasons for it
1. just the emotional, physical and psychological impact of having major surgery followed by a testing recovery
2. feeling isolated and alone which is often enhanced by having 'cabin fever' because of activity restrictions
3. a previous history of depression or low mood
The best therapy of all is talking and sharing and knowing you are not alone in this.
You're not abnormal, it's a perfectly normal thing to suffer from
With it also often comes anxiety issues
Perhaps you'd like to get chatting and see how many other people are experiencing the same thing.
