Struggling with Depression After Endometriosis Surgery

I had my first lap surgery for endometriosis Friday. Physically, I think things are going well. My left ovary was attached to my colon and left tube. All Endo was removed. I'm feeling depressed, though. I have been emotional since waking from surgery. I have struggled with depression for several years, but surgery seems to have aggravated it more. Has anyone experienced this or something similar?

I haven't experienced this personally but my mom came out of surgery with severe depression and it turned out to be a reaction from the anesthesia.

how long did it last?

Post laparoscopy, I did feel a little down, but at the time I thought that was FOMO. I never considered it being due to surgery itself, but that's interesting to think about for next time.

This happened to me! It was immediately apparent as soon as I woke up. It lasted about a month. I was physically doing great, but mentally so down and hopeless. I seriously felt like it would never end. I still have no clue why it happened, but it went away and it will for you too! Don’t give up it will get better!! It takes time
