An update. The doc drew blood and had it whirled through the machinery. He says her hormones are fine and all the other bloody bits are within normal ranges.
He’s prescribed St. John’s Wort and “wait and see”.
So I am thinking it is the body image thing. Some women react really badly to knowing they can never ever have a kid of their own. They may have never wanted a kid before, but there is something about all of a sudden realizing they will never have one trips a switch.
Only hormonal oddity of my hysterectomy is that I cry easier now. WTF is on with that! I didn’t get the depression, or loss of child thing, I get sniffling at movies which I never did before.
SO I think that since the bloodwork came out normal, maybe just a touch of some supportive therapy with a support group may help. Or maybe sign her up for kickboxing lessons and let her bash dummies and get the rage out =)
