I've had fleeting thoughts on all ten of these attitudes, and seriously struggled with 7 out of 10 of these attitudes.
1. Blame God for your cancer, get angry and abandon your faith.
2. Live selfishly. Have an affair, dump your partner and/or the rest of your family in pursuit of your own pleasure.
3. Live fearfully. Spend hours obsessing about cancer in your waking hours, and loose sleep at night as you imagine the worst possible outcomes.
4. Tie the meaning of your life to your performance in the bedroom.
5. Loose your self esteem and manhood until you regain your erectile abilities
6. Become cranky and irritable. Flight a lot with your partner and children.
7. Hold grudges and loose friends- At some point or another most of your friends and family will disappoint you. Hold that against them for the rest of your life.
8. Give up all forms of physical affection- If you can’t perform in the bedroom the way you like, give up everything, holding hands,kissing, tender touch, all forms of pleasurable affection are to be avoided like the plague.
9. Isolate yourself emotionally from your partner-make sure you keep your struggles to yourself and that your partner will struggle alone as well.
10. Live without hope- believe that prostate surgery ruined your life forever and you’d be better of dead.
If you are currently struggling with any or all of these attitudes I hope you'll post your struggle on this thread so you can get information, help, encouragement and support.
