@fyrehoose Hi Michael and welcome to Connect.
Congratulations on your transplant. I had a liver transplant in September 2016 in Boston.
I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering from depression. Can you identify what may be causing it at all? As Rosemary commented, perhaps medications could cause it. I did not have depression but medications can affect each person differently. I do often feel sadness that a family is grieving, but I cannot change that, I can only pray for them. The article in the link that Rosemary sent is very good. I just re-read it to refresh my mind. I hope you can find some worthwhile strategies in it.
If your depression continues you should seek some help. I know many people find great success in counseling.
I will be thinking of you, and hoping that you will feel better soon.

@fyrehoose Hello Michael. I had my liver transplant Nov 28 2018. I also am experiencing depression and anxiety. I believe most of it stems from all the complications I am experiencing post transplant. Ive had surgery twice and three procedures that have not worked leading me to severe pancreatitis and more time in the hospital than out. I keep hoping this will be over soon and I can start living again. Please talk to your doctors. They are there to help. Also support grom thus great Mayo Connect team will help keep you motivated. My thoughts are with you.

Hi @fyrehoose
It hurts to know you are hurting. Our whole community is here online to support you and listen. Your are brave to share your struggles and I have no doubt your bravery will help someone else who comes along in the future with your same concerns. I felt so bad at one point after transplant that I went in to my primary care dr. and told her how tired I was all of the time she was very understanding and referred me to physical therapy and it made a huge difference. Looking back it seems silly that I felt so guilty complaining to her, I guess I knew how lucky I was to have gotten a transplant and I didn't think I had the right to feel bad. You deserve good things, your deserve to feel good, who knows maybe your Dr. will find an easy fix like mine did something small like a change of meds, some PT, a few counseling sessions can make a world of difference. You deserve to feel good.
