I wanted to respond to you because I am in a much better place now emotionally and a considerably better place physically. I wrote a lot of these posts back in August when I was in the worst throes of ADT--I still had Lupron in my system AND Orgovyx which I had just started. Within a couple months, the Lupron washed out, I went to see a therapist, and also joined a gay men's prostate cancer support group and it's been a huge help to talk about these issues in real time. I started taking an antidepressant and it has helped considerably.

I went back to doing my volunteer work, re-established several friendships I had let go by the wayside, and just generally became more social and less isolated (I was isolating myself by choice). That alone has helped tremendously.

I've even learned to find some humor in things, such as when a doctor asked me "prior to ADT, how often did you have vaginal intercourse?" and I was able to truthfully respond "Never."
