The gap in transmission here was because my third day blues hit early on day five.
The brave and generous women in the Choosing Breast Reconstruction group were honest about the big crash that occurs after the operation I had. So I was prepared when the floodgates opened. As my blood pressure slowly righted itself, it opened the door for the next thing to happen.
Just after midnight I began to cry and didn't stop for over an hour. Big ugly heaving sobbing. I was overwhelmed with bleakness and the pointlessness of it all. I didn't realise how much noise I was making but clearly I was as two nurses rushed in (how embarrassing!), and one stayed and held my hand for ages.
I held all the wise words from everyone here as firmly in my mind as possible, all night as I slept, woke & wept, slept, woke & wept. In a real, authentic, visceral voice, this forum told me the breakdown was coming, and so many have shared their hard won knowledge on how to deal with moments like these. I believe this truly shortened my pain. Less than 24 hours later the blues had passed.
Thank you <3
