Okay, so some backstory. I have severe OCD and have a long history of mental health issues. I've been obsessing about my EQ for the last 6 years. It all started when I read about PIED and I got really scared that I had hurt my EQ by using a lot of porn. My head problems are hopefully my main issue, but I have some other worries.
Anyway my EQ was pretty decent back then, I think my head made it worse than it was, but I was still worried about PIED.
Fast forward to a couple of years ago, I got burnt out and really depressed. I started using SSRIs, Sertraline (Zoloft). These gave me some sexual side effects but I managed. I was using porn at this time so I didn't really notice anything.
I stopped using SSRIs like 2 years ago now, and I have now gotten into my first relationship. I lost my virginity with a decent erection, but it's definitely not as good as I want it to be. I'm scared I might have PSSD.
The situation right now is as follows.
I never get morning wood
No spontaneous erections
No erections without manual stimulation, and the erections I get are weak and go down very easily
Generally don't feel very horny, never fully hard with my gf
My worries
PIED, which would mean I'm in a pretty long and serious flatline right now
PSSD, would be soul crushing since there is no cure
Low T, will get my bloodwork checked ASAP
Pelvic floor damage, I got used to masturbating with a flexed Kegel to come faster, and I sometimes feel like I probably have a pretty tight pelvic floor.
My main problem is of course probably my head, which this post should be good evidence of. The reason I'm looking for more reasons other than my head is because I don't get morning wood at all. I'm under the impression that if it's head problems I would still get MW? It's pretty worrying.
My plan is as follows
No porn (as I've done for the last 8 months)
Some masturbation without death grip and I'll try to relax my PF
Start doing cardio
Get my bloodwork done as soon as I can, to check for low T etc. (probably closer to summer :/)
Of course get professional help with my OCD/depression.
Are there any other things I should do? I'm fully committed to solving this.
Thanks
