If anyone can shed some light for me I would truly be greatful...I know this may sound trivial to most who read this...and I appologize up front for my dramitization; but I recently had the LEEP prodcuedure and I can honestly say I am freaking out! I am going crazy physically and emotionally!!!! Physically I feel really bloated and I am bleeding w/ a lot of discharge. On top of the physical side effects I feel incredibly ugly, dirty, and fat! I don't even want to look in the mirror or put on normal fitting clothes. It is as if when they did the procedure they took my self-esteem with it! With that said...all pitty parties aside...my question is this: Is this normal? Why is this affecting me so bad emontionally? Has anyone else had emotional side effects from having this procedure or dealing with the HPV Virus or the possibility of cervical cancer???? I feel completly alone and I feel like no one understands how I feel. Which granted very well might be the case; but I figured it was worth a shot to see if anyone else has these thought/feelings...
