Just had a surgery happen to me, i had a toe amputated. now i'm depressed, what can i do to fix my depression?


here's how it happened, found out i had toe ulcers last month,started getting medical help for both toes, one's healed up properly, had to have half the big toe amputated. now i'm depressed, feels like i'm missing a huge part of me. other thing is i'm physically disabled, therefore, i can't even feel my legs/feet but it still feels like something is missing. i can't even look at the bandage without starting to cry like a 2 year old. So other than medical proffessional help and talking to family and friends about this, what can i do do try and help myself get over this problem before i completely go insane and drive myself to a heart attack with this ****. This has cause major psychological damage to me, i can't even go out because i feel ppl won't look at me the same. This sucks and really hurts.

I think your feelings are totally normal. You have had a loss and you are trying to cope with it. I was thinking that maybe you could look around for a support group -- either for amputees or for people who are disabled in the same way as you -- because there are probably a lot of people who feel the exact same way. I'm sorry this happened, and I hope you feel better soon. Source(s): http://www.amputee-coalition.org/inmotio...
