Hello, I’m new to this forum and would appreciate any advice or support. I had surgery to remove an acoustic neuroma a few months ago, and while physically I'm recovering well, I’ve been dealing with a lot of emotional ups and downs.
Some days I feel like myself again, but on others, I experience intense feelings of frustration, sadness, and anxiety. I didn’t expect this emotional rollercoaster, and it’s been difficult to cope with. I know cognitive issues like memory lapses and trouble concentrating can be common after this surgery, but I didn’t realize how much it would affect my mood and mental well-being.
Has anyone else experienced similar emotional or cognitive challenges post-surgery? How did you manage these changes, and do you have any strategies for dealing with the emotional impact during recovery?
Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
