I'm on six month treatment, 73 days left to go. TBH, my emotions are all over the map. I have periods where I go into a really dark place and feel "broken," like my physical body is walking around but my soul is off someplace else. These feelings for me are worse at nighttime when I've got nothing to do but sit around and ruminate.

The sexual side effects are also REALLY hard to deal with. Unlike most, I still get decent erections on ADT but am unable to have an orgasm which is extremely frustrating. I talked to a social worker but their advice was COMPLETELY unhelpful ("you can still have intimacy with someone by doing things like cooking a meal together"--that's called FRIENDSHIP in my book not ROMANCE).

I suppose I'm lucky in that my physical effects have been minimal. Insomnia, muscle loss but still able to do a decent workout and exercise a lot, a few cardiac issues in the beginning but those have smoothed out.

I hope when it's over that it was all worth it. I would encourage you to do ADT if you need it. I'm going to stick it out, but I've also decided that if it doesn't work I won't do it again because it has changed me too much from what I want to be (if that makes sense).

Other days I do OK. I am exercising a lot and that helps.
