Hey everyone. I just went through my first surgery on Friday... They took my appendix out, it was scary. I am just really depressed .I am at home now. Nobody really cared... I told my therapist I was in the ER and updated him and he cared and was concerned which very sweet of him. Nobody visited me. My parents were in and out of the hospital. While I was undergoing surgery they left and told the doctor to call once I was done. No "Friends" called or visited. It was lonely and depressing.

Sorry to hear this. I know how you feel. I hope that you will feel better.
I had surgery a year-and-a-half ago. I only had one friend with me. Fortunately he hung around for the surgery and saw me after it was over in the recovery room. Other than him, I didn't have anyone else. My sister called me everyday while I was in the hospital. She was 3000 miles away. I hardly had anyone come in to see me. But for some strange reason, I didn't feel lonely. I felt like I had a small built in social life while I was in the hospital. I missed that. When I got home then that's when the loneliness happened. Some people from the church I was going to volunteered to bring food to me. I appreciated it, even though the quality was not very good. But what disappointed me more was that no one from the church spent any time with me and no one called. One person volunteered to clean my place for me; but she never showed up. My good friend just happened to be on a trip to Europe just after I got out of the hospital. So that was my experience. |

I really hate you are going through this experience. I had surgery a few years ago and I was not in my birth state (no family around). I had one friend with me the night after my surgery. But afterwards my other friends from college expected me to just bounce back right away. They just carried on without me and left me at my apartment alone. I now learned the surgery triggered me and was a traumatic experience. I was going through an episode and did it all "alone". I know you are hurt....I recall the pain and how I really wanted someone to go come around. Just because know one is around does not mean something is wrong with you. I started going to a support group and met a few friends....friends that can relate to me. If your into church you can try that. I went to a community center as well and took a quilting program. I met lots of friends there too. When you feel up to it think about joining a support group. There may be one held by NAMI in your area. NAMI.com
