That's all I've got, all that's keeping me from going over the edge. I've been in pain for so long, and been just laying around, that I just can't hardly stand it. I tried having people come over, but now I just don't want to be bothered. In the past, when I've had to fight it, things like getting dressed, making myself look my best, and getting out of the house helped. Just sitting around in my pj's with dirty hair makes it worse. But now, that's my only option. I don't know anything about your religous preferences, and I certainly don't mean to be pushy about mine. But that's all I've got to offer. If it were not for prayer, both my own and that of those around me, I think I would have had a nervous breakdown by now. Or just given up and let myself get loopy on the meds just to pass the time. I will pray for you. And I believe God will help both of us. Right now the only option I can offer is prayer. That’s all I’ve got, all that’s keeping me from going over the edge.

It is true -- that normal can not come fast enough. I also have other medical problems on top of having the bypass done. Any suggestions on dealing with the depression without meds -- because I am at that point. Would like to hear from you. I am from Ontario Canada and not many support options where I live. Thanks for writing this story. Hi — I had the gastric bypass done in June of 2008 — I am dealing with the staring at the walls. It is true — that normal can not come fast enough.
