Question:
Can Anyone Help Me out with this?
Hi
I'm a 20 year old guy from North East, Uk.... and i think i may be suffering some sort of depression, but i'm not sure if i'm right or not.
I was with a girl last year for around 8 months, towards the end of the relationship there was a time when i couldn't 'get it up' so to speak....i panicked and started having anxiety attacks all the time without warning. Ever since then ( nearly a year ) i haven't been able to get a substantial erection, i know its all in my head but it's horrible.
I smoke weed, maybe too much.... but i don't drink a lot and i do go to the gym.
I can feel myself becoming more detached from my friends, not wanting to go out...and when i do the only thing on my mind is what i mentioned before..
The relationship ended very badly, with her starting a relationship with someone else and never speaking to me again... i think that may of hammered my self esteem coupled with the other thing, it just made me a wreck.... any advice on who i could go see? doc or psych
Answers:
The fact that you have recognised this is a good thing. Go and see your GP. You may not need any drugs, but just a bit of counselling.
I would also stop smoking weed. Long term use can mess with your mind, and give you the kind of thoughts you are experiencing.
