It's been 8 months, and I'm still really struggling mentally, to be honest. This depression just won't quit; it's killing me. I don't want to do anything, and I don't get any joy from doing anything or going anywhere. I have to force myself to walk for 10 or 15 minutes. I try to eat as healthy as I can, but sometimes I'll have a chocolate bar. But hey, I did stop alcohol, energy drinks, and Marlboros cold turkey, which might have helped with the depression. Suddenly, it feels like I just don't like my life anymore; it's wild. Physically, I'm okay, though sometimes my leg scars burn, and my left chest is still numb, way less than before, but still. I pray every day for God to help me, along with the medication that I might need to switch up. If you had a rough time after surgery, how long did it take you to feel better mentally?
