Anxiety and depression seem to be a very common response to ortho surgeries with long recovery times, and that's for folks with no history of those illnesses. So I am not surprised if the stress of the surgery and recovery have triggered a relapse for you. Get some extra support in order to get past it, whether it's medication, counseling, or a support group. Depression is really hard to shake. I found support through this portal. The people who post here are wonderfully positive and offer a wide variety of helpful suggestions. Just keep checking this conversation and see. Best wishes to you. It's a tough climb back to normal after ortho surgery!
