Why do I feel like I am going crazy??

I'm 31 and I  had a full hysterectomy(took our everything) in October of 2015. Well, since Christmas Eve, I have felt like my world has come crashing down. I think my husband is out to break my heart, like everything he is doing is just so he can be better for the person he leaves me for. I always think he is cheating even though I know deep down he has never done so... I just have all these overwhelming negative paranoid thoughts about him and our relationship now.   And I am so mean , I work with the public and I absolutely am the biggest, rudest person, and I use to be so happy and cheerful, I am so scared of losing my husband over this new me psycho stuff !! But what do I do? What do I say? How can I go back to the old me?++

I'm so sorry your world has come "crashing down" but I totally understand! I was 49 when my organs were removed 10 years ago and it has changed me in every way! The mood changes alone were horrific - I became suicidally depressed, anxious, and extremely irritable. I couldn't sleep, lost brain function (became "stupid" and very forgetful). Could barely do my job. I aged overnight. Lost all desire for sex and romance...was repulsed by it for awhile.

Bottom line - I realized that my gynecologist had not given me the facts about the importance of our sex organs and the many increased health risks associated with hysterectomy and oophorectomy (ovary removal). He was also deceptive about my condition and treatment.

Are you on hormones? If not, is there some reason you can't take them? They have helped me quite a bit. I'm not the person I was before the loss of my organs but I am no longer a basket case.

I hope you can find what works for you and get some relief from all these life-altering changes!

Thank you a lot! And no mam, I'm not taking any hormones, my doctor took me off of them after the 20 lb weight gain in 3 months. But I'm fixing to switch doctors and hopefully she can help me out. And I was in same boat,  Dr told me and my fiance' everything will be better after this.... Huge lie... Again thanks for your help.
