----------------------------------------------------------- From: liltrubin Message 2 in Discussion Dear nynewbie: I am sorry that you are going through such a rough patch and yes many if not all of us can relate. There is something called apathy syndrome that is more appropriate for Pit patients then depression and treatment for depression tends not to work on apathy syndrome. You are not along and I would venture to guess even without treatment you will have highs and lows!!!!

This isn't a typical depression -- I do manage to get through each day just fine. My non-functioning tumor is only causing minor symptoms right now, and it's too small for doctors to recommend removal. I still work, still take care of my kids only the innermost in my circle even know that I have this tumor. <o:p> </o:p> But, I find myself unable to think positively about the future. We had planned on building an addition to our house but now I think it's pointless. We were thinking about a major family vacation in '09, but I just can't get excited about it. While I can enjoy each day, I am just convinced that the future will be dark. This tumor will most certainly start to cause problems. My health will deteriorate. And, if the tumor doesn't lead to problems, my radiation-attacked body (CAT scans from a car accident 15 years ago, along with initial CAT scans done for this issue) will start throwing out cancer cells. <o:p> </o:p> I do believe in the live-for-today philosophy and I really do make the best out of each healthy day I'm given. But, it would be nice to also look to the future with a bit of excitement. Anyone else struggle with similar thoughts? View other groups in this category.
