Hi everyone,
I am now 14 months post and thought I'd give an update as not too many women do this far along. I have to say that I am a lot better now then 1 year ago. I wanted to give everyone hope that yes, it does get better!! I have mild anxiety and depression still to this day but not nearly as bad as it was. I still fight the bad thoughts daily but again, alot less intense then before. I have had a really rough time with this Mirena roller coaster but I can promise you all that it does get better. I was having a really hard time just a couple months ago, so as you can see, it does take a loooong time for some to get better. To be honost, I am not sure that I will ever be the person that I was before all this. I just seem to have improved to where I am today but can't seem to find my "normal". It now is almost at the point where I just am putting up with feeling different but at least I am not panicking all day anymore and I do have times where I am ok. The "bad" feeling is MUCH milder then before. Maybe one day it will completely go back to normal who knows... I did go on a hot air balloon ride 2 days ago and honestly, just 6 months ago, I would have NEVER been able to do that!
I think about you all daily and hope and pray for a fast recovery for all! Take care! XO, Jackie
Thanks for sharing your update. I am 13 months post and can relate with much if not all of what your saying. God bless and cheers to feeling better and better each day!
I am also glad to hear you are feeling better. I think you summed up how I feel everyday. I am almost 11 months post removal and it was a rough first 6 months, but I feel like I am doing better. Life is now a new normal. I am also still battling minor anxiety and it has been a struggle to lose weight, but I am running in a 5K this weekend and training for a 10K in October and I have lost 8 pounds in the last 2weeks. I also don't think I will ever be normal. I don't even remember what normal is, but I will take this over the days after removal.
Hang in there ladies. It is a long journey and most days it seems like you won't get through the day. I kept a journal and I noticed I stopped writing as much as I felt better. I read back through it last week and realized how far I have come. Keep up the fight.
