Today I got some bad news from my Doctor. I have an Ovarian Cyst. I have a history of fibroids and had surgery five years ago to remove it. I'm told that this is a different type of condition and that it will probably go away on its own. However, if it doesn't I will probably have to have surgery again.

What makes me sad about this is that I will be going through this alone. My ex doesn't care about my health. He was with me five years ago when I was in the hospital and held my hand and basically helped me to recuperate much faster. Next month is my birthday and I don't know how I'm going to make it through this. This has got to be the most horrible time in my life. Tell me it has to get better than this.

How did most of you make it through the first year after you got divorced?

I know how you feel. I had to have a hysterectomy last year, six months after separation and with only the support of my parents and one friend. I was incapacitated for a minimum of six weeks, and I had very low energy levels for months after.

I felt very bitter that I had to go through such a major thing without my X. But now I look back and I realise it was a strength building exercise for me. If I got through something like that alone, I could do a LOT I thought I couldn't do.

I have also had ovarian cysts, and had one removed...and it is a smaller procedure, and easier to get over, but missing your X makes it more emotional, for sure. Rely on your friends and family to help get you through, because we have to get used to life without the X now. So sad but it is the truth.

Love and light,

Jacky
