Report postAm I depressed or lazy
15 weeks post surgery and I have no motivation. First 10 weeks or so was ok, but since then I always feel it is needed to be done but I can not start.

Hi Webber26230, Thanks for starting this thread. It is such an important message. I am only 1week post-surgery & feel the same way. I am just realising that battling depression can be a significant part of recovery. There are lots of ways to use the internet for support (online forums, etc). Can I ask how old you are? I am 69.
