Hello

[Trixie]

My name is Trixie (it isn't really it was our dogs name). I have been suffering from depression and anxiety

I am on Cipralex 5mg per day. The thing is I am not sure at the moment if it is just a blip in my character (I am usually an extrovert and very laid back) or is caused by my brain tumour (menigioma) which I understand can cause a change in the personality amongst things.

All I know is is that I am fed up feeling this way.:ohmy:

Hi Trixie and welcome to NMP,
Sorry to hear you're going through such a bad time at the moment , we all wish you a speedy recovery from your tumour.
I expect your consultant has said this already but it depends where the Meningioma is whether it effects your behaviour and personality , it's usually the ones sited in the front of the brain that has this effect.
God bess,
Decca.

Yes that's exactly where mine is:mad: (posterior frontal parafalcine) but I am hoping it is just a blip in my personality and nothing to do with that thing.

I am normally a laid back extrovert who could talk and laugh for Britain.:yahoo:

My daughter is 24 soon and has been like this since before she did her A-levels. She doesn't leave the house and only has contact with myself and her brother and immediate family. Fortunately when she is OK she has a brilliant sense of humour (like me).

Her father died suddenly a few years ago so I am her only parent. It is amazing how some people sail through life with no worries at all and the rest of us:ohmy:
