hi to everyone reading this post, thank you for the opportunity to talk.
I am seeking help to improve my outlook on life.
I am severely depressed, mostly because of a disease I have affecting my penis.
It is called Peyronie, it is basically a fibrous tissue that doesn't allow it to properly function, and gives me erectile dysfunction, curved erection, loss of sensitivity and a curve of the penis.
I have always been a guy with very high libido and this is destroying me. I have problems mantaining erections and reaching orgasms, and the disease is still progressing so it will get worse.
I am battling for a year with my mind, trying to push me to study, socialize and go on with my life. But in the end i always come to my usual despair, when I am reminded, by a picture, a song or a conversation, that i will never have a normal sex life, if i will ever have any at all.
I am a very social guy so I always wanted to have, obviously, a relationship and regular sex. This is destroying this prospect for me. I have no clue how my penis will look in a few months and if i will have erections. I tell myself that if the loss of sex destroyed me to this level, how can i impose it to a partner by starting a romantic relationship.
I am really broken. I have faced many adversities in my life and took pride of how i could be positive and make my difficulties a reason of strength.
But this is really on a different level. Sex has always been one of the biggest pleasures in my life, and it is for many young people i bet. Without it i often feel like there is no point in life whatsoever. I also wonder if i will end up alone because of my sexual dysfunction, facing rejection after rejection.
Thank you for reading this. Please message me if you have a similar story of struggle to share.
I am too ashamed to talk about this with my friends so it would help me to have a nice conversation.
