Propecia destroyed my life and I am considering suicide

I lost my sexual ability due to PSSD around 20 yrs of age. Now I am 32. My penis is not sexual anymore. It’s very hard to achieve orgasm with my GF. I don’t dream any more and no sexual dreams nor morning erection. Any girl don’t attracted to me romantically. I was also suicidal. Once you understand things in life, our expectations and feelings will be changed then you understand high expectations cause this suffering. So hang on you will be OK…

Why is that happened to us? We didn’t deserve it. All I want was healthy hair but what happened…I can only accept…My life is not worth living anymore. I hope corona or cancer kills me.

Hi there @Lover.Of.God

It’s understandable that you are feeling the way you are just now, but please take on board everything the guys on here have said to you. It is awful that this has happened to you but although it may feel it with your current mindset, it is absolutely NOT the end of the world for you. You are very young and have a long life ahead of you. You have been impacted to a degree but you haven’t been hit by the many many of the side effects that fundamentally disable many and still have some sexual function and desire which is a major plus. If you still have that desire, as others have said there are ways to improve sexual function for you, but if you put your sexual issues to one side for a minute I assume from what you have said that you would absolutely be in a position to desire to be intimate with a woman. Please don’t deny yourself this intimacy by catastrophising what could very well be a transitory thing in a very long life. Also, there will be women who want to get intimate with you no matter what. Don’t presume to deny a future partner your love for fear of this. Life is never perfect and everyone has insecurities about something of themselves. We sadly know the cause of this particular misfortune and with it the added pain of what we’ve lost and all of those what could have beens, but try not because of this to throw everything else out which you still have: a young life with many things right and working, or working to a degree that you can function satisfactorily enough for the moment. Think of the amazing strides that happened in the last year with the covid vaccines. Your hopefully long life time will offer I am absolutely sure amazing advances in so many areas. Again, don’t deny yourself being here for them. To take your life now would be a bit like William Shakespeare burning his complete works because he was unhappy with one single play. Hang in there. Your own play is just begun. You can’t begin to presume that this is irrevocable. Many already have seen improvement. You also can’t begin to presume how women will react to you. There will be more than one out there right this very moment who will love you no matter what. Stay for them too.

Thanks for your answer. But I think no woman accepts a man like me. It is better to accept this reality. I am not gonna kill myself but my life is terrible now and I can’t do anything about it…

I understand where you are because I was there recently. All rationality goes out the window when you’re faced with these side effects and the sense of doom plagues your thoughts 24/7.
There’s a good chance you’ll recover with time so just old onto hope.
A recovery could come at anytime so try your best to stay strong for those who love you for now.

Today I have talked with my urologist. He said finasteride can cause this permanent side effects. I am gonna kill myself I am %100 sure about that. I am only 20 years old virgin. I didn’t even kissed a girl. But this drug took all of my pleasure in my life. This is not a suicide this is a murder. Doctors who made propecia they killed me.

I think you need some perspective. While I know you are having a bad time, there is no way of knowing that you are stuck with this and what you’re describing in those quotes sounds like a situation that many people here would consider enviable. People can see improvement after years.

This is not a reason to kill yourself.

Yes I can have %90 but not %100. This is what real sex is.

Oh no! I couldn’t even masturbate today! I can’t get erect.

@Lover.Of.God your mindset is causing you as many problems as the PFS if not more. Many have offered you advice around coping strategies You need to listen instead of coming back to the same point A 19 year old virgin overly worrying about his abilities with the opposite sex would develop libido, confidence problems with girls regardless. STOP adding layers of worry your not helping yourself at all. There are men on here who are in a much worse position that would swap places with you in a blink. Take a step back mate and try doing things a bit differently, move your focus away from your dick! There is a lot more to life.

Its like i said ask your doctor for cialis/tadalafil then you got 110%.

Yeah I have talked with doctor. I will use a similiar drug before sex. Lol I don’t have a gf or partner I don’t know what I am gonna do with that.

Maybe you should look for girl and try it .

I want but how can I find one?

You can go on the street and talk to girls and ask them for their number, or you download tinder or lovoo.

They guy lives in Turkey. It’s not easy to have sex outside of marriage in that country.

Hey @Georg and @Lover.Of.God
