My reply was flagged, but tbh AR overexpression can induce psychological emasculation
I have experienced a complete personality change and cognitive impairment. I have to reflect on my behavior all the time, which makes me very distressed.I think Iām mentally ill
Thatās how it feels but itās the drop in neurosteriods. U are not mentally ill I was in a supermarket yesterday I was in an absolutely desperate state. I couldnāt look up, make eye contact, I was extremely nervous for no reason I could feel people looking at me. Years ago I would have had uccumbed to an outburst now I just withdraw . Remember you are NOT mentally ill. Try breathing exercises, calming strategies when in the moment rather than feeding it with distressing thoughts and actions.
Ryan, when will this end? Our feelings, memories and thoughts are so broken, just like the defective products made by God. I fell too hard. I donāt want to admit defeat, but the condition really makes people desperate. What we lose is not only Dick, but also our soul
Yes, itās practically non existent. When people cut me off it doesnāt even bother me. Canāt even be angry about it.
There some resentment, but more because it reflects the way my personality is changing then anything else.
I havenāt tried any presc meds yet, but expectations things will improve are very low.
same as me
Sucks to hear it. I respond the same as you, Also agree with your advice. Definitely good advice. Meditation experience from years ago helps to zoom out and let go of thoughts and emotions when necessary.
@baitongWu God knows my friend, its torment around the clock. One thing is for sure it is repairable and thatās why everyone has to hang on. Believe we will see it sooner rather than later. Many get improvements with time for some of us it will take longer. No one knows!!! That is a fact!!!
