@lacraig1 I don't want to minimise what you're going through, but it won't always be as hard as it is now, so don't give up hope.
There was a popular WW2 song about the hardships of war called "You'll get used to it." It's really true. I don't love the ADT and Apalutamide side effects (or quarterly PSA testing, or the radiation damage to my bladder, or the rods and cement in my spine, or… or…) but after 4 years, it's become my new normal, and I don't think about it too much. I guess I got used to it.

Zytiga is a super ADT that takes your testosterone down even lower.
If you can’t get relief by doing exercises, there are a number of medications that can help. Some people get a lot of anxiety or depression and they need treatment, Even if it’s doing a lot of exercise (Which works for some people I know).
I’ve been on ADT for eight years and was on Zytiga for 2 1/2, Had a lot of side effects, but it’s been manageable.
