Looking for others with Pituitary Adenoma

Hi, I was officcially diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma on August 4th of this year. Although, I have felt the symptoms since I was 29 and did not understand what was going on. I am now 35 and I finally get to see an endocrinologist in a few days. I have been trying to wait patiently for 6 months for this appointment. I will be trying to get hormone replacement therapy. But currently I am experiencing a lot of symptoms that are negatively affecting my life. I don't feel like myself anymore. I feel like a different person, that is probably the worst symptom. It's a horrible experience to have. Does anyone have any advice on how to stay positive during this? Religion does not comfort me. I joined this group because everyone seemed so open and I don't have a lot of people I can talk to about this. Thank you in advance!

@krabbykitkat, I hope you saw the replies from @susanmaria and @guidanceplease. Staying positive when you are feeling so unwell is hard. Mayo Clinic has this (free) online self-guided program that you might find helpful:

Did you have the appointment with the endocrinologist? What did you find out?
