Q: ED - The result of a weak person?
asked by: SurvivalOfTheFittest on October 25th, 2008

Hey everyone,

I'm 17 years old with social anxiety and depression. I was thinking to myself last night who gets ED at 17 years old'. In my eyes, I regard myself as a good person but I do have low self-esteem. Does anyone know if ED is the result of mental problems such as depression and someone having low self-esteem. I was thinking to myself, when I masturbate at home, I ejaculate in under 1 minute. But that can't be self-esteem can it? Because I'm not with anyone? I'm seeing a psychologist in approximately three weeks time after exams, would they know how to unlock the causes of my ED?

Thanks

First of all, please don't think you are a weak person because of ED. That won't help you at all. I know it's tough, but writing yourself off like that will only plunge you further into depression/anxiety and even other problems like ED.

Yes, I think depression/anxiety could contribute to ED. When you are severely depressed or anxious your body and mind often don't function the way they should.

Sexual desire comes from the brain and if you are caught up with other troubles then you won't be willing or able to be sexual.

Also, are you on meds for your conditions? I remember the weirdest and most distressing thing was the total loss of libido and erection when I took Anti-depressants for a very short period of time about 7 years ago.

Please don't give up. Try some of the things mentioned in the other threads and report back. Good luck.

I'm on meds for Social Anxiety. I dont even know if I have depression, I'm assuming I do. I've done a couple of quizzes on the net and it suggests I have depression. As I mentioned above, i'm seeing someone about it soon.

Social Anxiety
I notice with this condition that i have too is that you have to make yourself speak in front of people to get stronger. Even if you are affraid that you might say something that might sound stupid to you in your mind.
You have to stand up for yourself. even if some of your fake friends have a problem with you. Get away from them too. Stand up and say what you got to say to people and if they have something to say. You check their ass.
