I also had aneurysm repair. I, like you, was in the medical profession as a RN. I hv had major fatigue and depression and periods where I can't even function. I feel like you in that I've always been able to help others n now it feels like I can't even help myself. I've pushed everyone away because I feel like I just bring them down as well. I was not time this before the surgery and I feel that because I look normal everyone is thinking I'm making it all up but I kno I'm not. It's helpful for me to read posts like urs to know I'm not alone n with no pun intended its not all in my head.
