I’m in a weird mental state right now where I feel that finally fully acknowledging psychological ED has actually made my situation worse. I’ve brought it to the surface to face it. However it has only made my situation worse. I think about it so constantly and severely now that even regular morning wood has become an issue. Maybe it’s a trust the process thing and it has to get worse before it get better. But I am going through it for sure and I certainly don’t feel good about it. I just want to be reassured that it’s a fixable problem. Consciously I know it is but subconsciously clearly not. Such a tough thing to rewire mentally. If anyone has any thoughts on this please respond!

Totally. It’s so easy to ignore and just hope it’ll pass but I thinking facing it rather than hiding away and hoping it’ll go away just isn’t feasible. I just started this app yesterday n don’t know yet whether il start paying for it but I think long term mental growth n unpacking the issue n learning how to deal with it rather than hiding away really is the best option. Just my opinion but I do agree, it is hard bringing everything to the surface and does bring up emotions.

Completely get where you’re coming from. I’ve gone through the exact same thing. I think I spent so long convincing myself that there were other issues I didn’t come to the realisation I had psychological issues. When you confront them, they become more prevalent and you start to fixate on them, leading to it happening more. I’m in the mindset that bringing these to the surface will make it work at first, but will help me overcome the issue. Makes logical sense in my head and the exercises are beginning to help. Just keep at it!

I know mine are psychological. I already suffer from complex PTSD and my marriage, which is now over, fueld the sexual trauam because of the ED happening. I’m aorry man. I get it. All I can say is keep your chin up, keep searching for answers, and find a therapist.
