Does anyone think about suicide?

[celexahell]

I took it for a completely temporary situation: relationship issues and job issues. Incidentally I was also facing other issues at the time - oddly enough, hormonal/testosterone issues that were fucking me up badly. But those slowly resolved. The "medication" then just nuked everything.

I have tried inositol and a lot of the other shit recommend on this forum with results ranging from "meh" to "that helped a little bit ... I guess. And gave me a stomach ache."

Haven't tried SJW yet - would you recommend?

I would. What do you have to lose?

I can't feel my fucking balls anymore. My libido doesn't exist anymore. How the fuck is this a livable condition? Tell me, someone, how the FUCK this is a livable condition?

Hey again celexa,

Did you take celexa for a mental illness? If so, is that under control?

Have you tried inositol or SJW?

And to answer your question, NO it is indeed unacceptable. Now, you need to find what will bring it back..

Also, @Celexahell, I think that Brian has great advise. I know how easy it is to be depressed over this. But you still need to treat that if you want any hope of regaining your life. This isn't acceptable, but "Now, you need to find what will bring it back" is exactly right. I took the Enantiomer version of your drug, both of which are SHIT. They are horrible. Terrible fucking drugs. I don't deny that. But I would suggest that you don't beat yourself up over it. We all wish we could roll back the clock and change things, but we can't. I found a lot of peace of mind when I accepted what had happened, and looked to move forward. That doesn't mean that I'm not mad as hell, or that I don't occasionally punch my wall at night. It means that I am less concerned with what I once did, and more concerned about getting back what I lost. I could curse myself for the 4 days of escitalopram to my grave to no avail. Or I could realize that this is water under the bridge. Is it shitty? Is it hell? Yea. Sometimes it is. But it's worse if you see it like a regret, and better if you see it as a challenge. Challenge has you looking forward, and regret has you looking back. I sometimes find peace in seeing that there are many things that can fuck up someones life, and that this isn't the worst imaginable thing. People have heart attacks, strokes, car accidents, Alzheimer's, parkinsons, cancer...PSSD is just another struggle that we need to fight. It's a challenge. Not simply a regret.

Well said Ghost.
Celexa, for me it helps to think about all the people you come across in your daily travels that you wouldn't want to change places with. Perhaps people with severe obvious physical disabilities, or people with severe mental deficits, blind people, deaf people, dependant elderly infirmed people with no quality of life, people with rotten or no teeth, whatever. I too am a perfectionist and I for a long time was hung up what I had lost and how life would be perfect if I hadn't touched the SSRI but when you see people worse off than yourself you realize that it could be worse and we have to move forward with what we have and make the most of it and we will be rewarded for that. Do your best to make yourself the best you can be in every other facet of your life, perhaps occupy yourself with getting super-fit, or perhaps some household improvements or backyard projects that occupy you and will give you a sense of accomplishment and hopefully then a stronger you with all of us can work through this shit together...that is the approach that is getting me through at the moment.

Thanks for all the kind words, both of you, but this really is the worst thing that could happen to a person. At least, to me. Sex and women are a huge part of my life, something that I always looked forward to, and I took pride in my superpowered sexuality.


The numbness and lack of libido is so fucking devastating. Yeah, I'm doing okay in life: good job, make good money, have a good car, not a fat ass. But so the fuck what if I can't fully experience life's greatest pleasure: fucking pussy and feeling it to the fullest extent, enjoying a woman to the fullest extent? Feeling confident knowing that I'm always ready to go. It's a FUCKING nightmare.

What is the best brand of SJW? What else has even the slightest fucking effect? Does Viagra help anyone? What the fuck I'm fucking 27 years old asking about viagra to a bunch of fucking people I don't know on the fucking internet.

I use Cialis 10mg while having numbness and low libido and I'm 30. But let me ask you, are you taking anything...like any supplements, meds?? I used SJW "perika" brand. And FYI, maybe this will alleviate the frustration...just know that EVERYONE has their specific issues/obstacles. If it's not PSSD, it's something else, money problem, relationship problem, health problem, mental health problem...there's always a problem. And your problem like mine will most likely get resolved at some point. But then...there's gonna be another problem..

Yea I'm 19 and in college. College is sex. But I manage. It's a struggle, but no one ever said life would be easy. I try not to think about what I don't have, but instead what I do. I'm honestly happy about so many things in life. Think of the 26 years that you didn't deal with PSSD. This has been one year for both of us that has been SHIT. But it's one year in a long story that is your life. I'm a believer in things always changing. Who knows where we'll be a year from now? You just hope for the best and take it a day at a time. I've heard of so many stories of recovery over time.

Also, I wouldn't worry about what age you have to take Viagra at. If it makes things work for you again, why does it matter? No one goes into life planning on Erection issues, but there is a reason that Viagra sells so well. People need it. You may not need it for the same reason as them, but everyone has their reason for it. Wishing you the best, man. We're all in this together. This is terrible, there is no denying that.

laif 900 is the brand beetlebum recovered with. There's also laif 600, if you want to start with lower dose.

This condition makes people very desperate. It's devastating there is no denying that. I would like to help bring more emotional support to the site. Possibly a private thread or place on the forum to discuss our daily emotional trauma dealing with a condition that is being covered up.

The science part of this forum is awesome...but I feel we can do more to support each other.

I've been completely devastated by this and hope peer support will be helpful

Would love to hear everyone's ideas about this

Thanks

I would even Skype with anyone who needs suppprt. Connecting (in a more substantial way) is so important for coping. Less isolattion. We have a medical condition. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Just wanted to say I'm pretty normal 30ish female with a masters degree in nutrition. I'm also a good listener.
