Q: Overwhelming Anxiety, Sadness, No Appetite, ED

I am recently 27 years old and I have been experiencing off and on ED from the past 3 years, however it has been more off than on. With some relationships having never experienced it at all. However with the first relationship I had similar symptoms to this, however it past after we broke up.
Also I have had experienced depression in the past with dark thoughts in the past, however that has been 7 years ago. Recently those dark thoughts have came back and I can't stop thinking of the quick solution to it all. I have recently got into a relationship with someone that without a doubt I am madly in love with, during the beginning of it it all, I was constantly consumed with the thought that she was seeing other people other than me. I recently experience a loss of an erection twice in a row with my girlfriend preforming oral sex on me, our sexual past was constant sexual activity everyday for a month.
I have gone to the doctor and spoke to him about this and he has talked to me about when I started to experience these issues and what was going on in the time this happened. He came to the conclusion that it was just stress, but said we will do blood test to see the level of testosterone, and the functioning of some glands that I can't remember what he said.
I had a discussion with my girlfriend and told her that I was going to the doctor to have blood test done. She was very supportive and said that even though she had never had a man have that happen in her past, she wasn't going to leave me over something like this.
Since then when we have been together a feeling of nausea, hot feeling, nervousness, an unexplainable feeling in my chest. Since that night it has been non stop with that feeling even when I am alone at work the same feeling consumes me, with me constantly battling crying fits with tears welling up in my eyes over the littlest things that aren't even sad, as I type this message I have teared up several times.
I have absolutely no appetite, the thought of food going in my mouth, or a drink of water makes me start to dry heave. I have tried to take vitamin supplements since I have not been eating and that is hard for me to take without the feeling of throwing up.
My girlfriend has been supportive though these past couple of days with coming over and making me soup, from me just telling her that I have been feeling sick I have not told her what I have typed in here. Also with the ED situation so it is no pressure from her.
What is wrong with me?

You might be suffering from a mixed anxiety depressive disorder. You doctor might have been thinking you could have a problem with your thyroid which can have some simiar symptoms to depression. I would go back to your Dr now, dont wait or feel like you have to suffer in silence, that benefits nobody, tell them how low you are and stress how disruptive/ distressing this is to your life- this is their job and would be able to give much better advice than anyone here because they would really know you and be able to make a judement based on a proper medical history.

Also, Im not sure if you are taking any antidepressant medications, if you are keep in mind that the SSRI's (which can be very effective) can cause some of the anxiety symptoms you are describing, in which case again i would also talk to your Dr.

Best Wishes
