i had surgery this monday that just went....i had a GA and since then i feel like i have no emotion i cry all the time, when my daughter does something that should make me happy or if my partner does something that should make me sad i feel nothing, i am empty....everything has suddenly become real and i mean like having an inner outter body experience on the inside where your perception is lookin from your 3rd eye or somthing...i kno i sound crazy but i need help before i lose it and do something i dont wanna do...im just scared i talked to my doc and the person the did my GA and they dont understand..i just need to kno there are people havin the same effects as me....i cant take it anymore, i cant sleep anymore, its like im uncomfortable in my skin all the time...

    GA=general anaesthetic. Perhaps u are feeling the depressive effects of being ill, rather than it being due to the GA. I don't know y u had the surgery? Was it a severe medical problem? Was it an elective or emergency procedure? I'm a doctor. I think you should see a therapist. Your doctor can also run a few tests to ensure it's not a metabolic problem, like your thyroid, etc

    GA is a general anaesthetic.

    I guess this kinda depends on what surgery you had done, perhaps there is something wrong with your thyroid or something?

    Maybe you should go back to your doctor and tell them just how bad it is. You didn't have the surgery long ago, maybe you just need some rest and to give your body some time to get over it.

    Yes. Surgery is known to result in many emotional swings. I went thru it and my father in law did too. It WILL get better. Find someone to talk to. Hang in there and know u will be okay.
