i never thought i would be posting on a mental illness forum but here i am. dealing with erectile dysfunction for the past 6 months has completely destroyed my mind. i am living here in Atlanta and honestly i feel too depressed to even leave the house sometimes. i have severe anxiety now, panic attacks before intimacy, and i feel like less of a man. it is a vicious cycle... the ED caused the depression, and now the depression makes the ED worse. has anyone else experienced this mental toll?

please don't be so hard on yourself... my husband went through the exact same nightmare. the mental toll on men is insane because you guys suffer in silence. he became so depressed he stopped talking to me completely. just know that it is a medical issue, not a personal failure. you are not alone in this.
