I promise you it will get better. It's very early days & I had all these emotions that you are having. I was sobbing as some of my family didn't buy get well cards, I was overlooking the fact they were staying with me & taking care of me which was really selfish of me but I could only see my point of view. Like I said 5th week & feeling so much more positive & no tears.
I live Newbury Berkshire. Where are you ?

Its not a mental health issue at all..major surgery is more traumatic than most people could ever imagine..it's physically and mentally draining,coupled with as you say not being able to do the things which keep most of us feeling alive.
Nobody can really help with the mental side,you just have to hang on in for the next few long weeks..and tell yourself things will get better,and they do!
Im 3wks post op and only just starting to see an improvement..
Just getting out walking down the street were a big help to me.
Time does heal.

Dont worry about posting that......we've all been through it ......some time or other during our recovery.
It will pass and is normal even if that doesnt help you at the minute

The end result is all worthwhile with no hip pain. Just with the flow and relax - let the professionals do their job and I am sure you will be ok. Chin up and be positive
