@jessicaruth3: This post op is just as much physical as it is mental. Anyone else struggle with the mental exhaustion of HS? Worrying about packing bandages, clothing, new flares etc. . . . #hs #hswarrior #mental #hidradenitissuppurativaawareness #postop
You didn’t specifically mention pain today, but your audience is very aware of the ongoing immense daily physical pain that you experience, plus the anxiety that you spoke of, and with small children, plus cheer, etc.!!! I want you to know that I see a warrior wrapped in a gentle soul. I wish that you quickly, and as pain free as possible.

I cant relate to the HS struggles as much, but I've been chronically ill and disabled since I was 13, had 9 surgeries, 14 joints replaced. I do know the mental fatigue that comes with health struggles. And post op is just exhausting. You go through so much already and surgery brings the promise of relief, but you're never truly prepared for the incoming road of recovery. I get so impatient with it. You're doing amazing, even if sometimes you feel otherwise. Even on breakdown days, you're doing your absolute best and to me that means a win. Wishing you the smoothest road to post op recovery and remember to give yourself grace 💜💙

Yes. I had a major surgery was way more mental then I thought. I had to make a therapy/counseling appointment. It helped. But it’s still on going since February.

I think recovering from any surgery is mental as well as physical. Give yourself permission to feel both.

Health Anxiety. I know that so well. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has been my saviour. I have been doing The DARE Response program. This is year 2 for me(last time was 3 years ago) we have to befriend our anxiety. Being okay with the anxious discomforts. It’s a weird concept but, it makes sooooo much sense. Sending you gentle hugs.💜💜
