a bit depressed today

Some people do get depressed From ADT, though it is a combination of the drug and thinking about a prostate cancer diagnosis.

Taking a drug such as you mentioned, can take away that depression and make you feel normal again. A few people in this forum have done the same thing as you were talking about. People have mentioned taking Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Effexor, Buspirone, Cymbalta or Lexipro, In some cases, people have tried one drug and it didn’t work for them so they had to try another one. Working with a psychiatrist that can prescribe anti anti-depression drugs could make a big difference in your life.

yes..I took a Propranolol and feel a bit better now..yea, the prostate cancer diagnosis threw me..all thru the yrs, my PSA was normal range..11/2023 it was .9 and then jumped to 40 in May of this yr..MRI and then biopsy and PETscan..all confirmed..I was going to Thailand in Sept with friends.. now this...oh well, my turn..maybe I will get to Thailand down the road...altho now prob the last place I want to go..no interest whatever in sex...or much of anything else at the moment.

When I listen to my “future thoughts” I definitely get bummed out. Same with “past thinking”. When I focus seriously on the here and now, I gain insight and appreciation. Better than pills, although I am on 50 mg of Zoloft. 🤣. All the best to you…

yes I understand..for some reason, I start recalling family friends, events from the past..most are gone now..which bums me and and of course what does future hold..can I make this journey alone?/
well just have to try to stay focused in present..one day at a time...do my best.
I would say the mental part of cancer is perhaps hardest to master...slowly making peace with it and doing what I can each day to win...if I win most days then I will win the battle.

Yes, making peace with your enemy (cancer) is crucial. To me that means neither winning or losing, just accepting it as part of “what is”. In my mind we must forgive reality for being the way it is.
