I’m not talking about the obvious sexual and even romantic side of things, it’s pretty much a given that those take a huge hit when you have full on long term PFS, but I wondered how your social life and other relationships have been affected.
Have you told others aside from family? Have you lost friendships? I have, some have been supportive but others virtually vanished and even ones that didn’t can be distant and I feel like they have read a lot of the forum and know about the symptoms, and are almost judging me at times.
It wasn’t an option for me to cover this up when it happened due to the severe nature of the physical and mental side effects, my physique and personality changed and I was unable to function properly for a while. I suppose if you just have ED and libido loss it can be comparatively easy to cover it all up.
I’ve put this in the hidden forum because even here some things are hard to talk about openly with people visiting the forum and we need some confidentiality.
