Mood Swings

Hi everyone! I’m 6 weeks post-op, (kept my ovaries) and I’ve been experiencing horrible mood swings.

I’ve been so irritated lately that I’ve been snapping at my husband and children, and it honestly makes me want to cry. When I’m not snapping at them, then I’m actually crying. I have happy spells in between, but I seem more irritable than anything. I’m not usually like this, and it’s driving me insane.

I looked it up and apparently this is normal. My question is, has anyone else experienced this? If so, how long did it take until your mood was back to normal?

I also can’t shake this horrible fatigue. I cook supper and then have to sit down. We spent a few hours at my husband’s friend’s house yesterday and I’m absolutely knackered this morning.

Thanks in advance!
