I stumbled across this website today and found what appear to be some striking similarities in what I've been experiencing and what I see posted here.
The first thing that caught my eye was the thread regarding individuals encountering difficulties with personal finances.
I had a pituitary tumor diagnosed in 96 and had surgery in that year. Two years later the tumor regenerated and it was 'zapped' with cobalt via gamma knife.
Since then I've been contending with depression, apathy and anxiety, sometimes to the point that I can hardly function. And, even with a degree in accounting and a juris doctor degree, I've been successful in really messing up the family finances - and that situation seems to parallel the length of time my endocrinologist and neurosurgeons estimate that the tumor has been growing.
At this point, I take Wellbutrin, Celexa and clorazapate. However, the moods still swing and the anxiety shows itself with no predictability.
Any insight from others who are experiencing depression/anxiety, etc. whether pituitary related or not.
