PIED - Grateful To Move Forward

My journey - A little more than a year ago, I first noticed signs of ED. I chalked it up to work stress as well as a bad episode of retroactive jealousy. The ED got worse but so did the life stress - my daughter was hospitalized for several weeks with a severe mental illness and the meds she was on made her violent to my wife and I as well as suicidal (four attempts within 3 month time). She’s now on a stable path and it’s taken an incredible amount of energy and money but we’re no longer in the crisis. My Cortisol tests showed I had stage 2 adrenal failure from the stress and my t levels were slightly low (total T 440) so I have been on a ton of supplements and diet/lifestyle changes. Cialis did nothing and my doctor was perplexed too as I am very fit for 42. I have been fixated on my ED and frustrated nothing was working. I didn’t understand what was happening until I recently chatted with ChatGPT to walk through all possible causes - it asked about porn use. I realized that I had started used AI porn shortly before the ED first appeared and I used that as a source of dopamine with everything else going on. This made so much sense as I would spend a couple hours daily in aggregate interacting with AI porn and the content was getting more intense. I couldn’t believe how blind I was to the problem - I now know this app and community will help me become who I need to be. There is a path forward and it’s pretty simple to abstain from porn. It’s Day 4 and I know I can beat this.
