Thanks for the support. It’s a lifetime commitment, obviously. I just hope I haven't waited too long to start...

Well, my girlfriend dumped me today. Or maybe she did... she gave me this vague, half-baked explanation. Honestly, that's one of the main reasons I started this thread. I have nobody to lean on anymore. I'm just putting all this extra pressure on myself and I don't know how to fix it. My stomach is constantly turning from the sadness. I mean, deep down, I saw this coming... I've been stuck in this low-level depression for a while now.
I really need some help here.
I've been scouring Google for supplements that contain ginseng. I see stuff like Vitality and Men's Health claiming they help with mental clarity and libido and everything else. I'd buy some, but money is tight right now, though I feel like I should try something. Has anyone actually used these? Are they worth it? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Thanks for the input. I've been wondering... after years of putting this junk in my system, do you think it’ll take a few months just to get my body back on track?
I’m in my mid-twenties—27, actually—and I’m dealing with some major issues with my erections.
My nightlife used to be absolutely wild. I drank way too much... like, I’d polish off an entire bottle of hard liquor in a single night. And cigarettes. Lots of them. I really let myself go, and during those last few years of partying, I didn't do any physical activity at all. I just drive everywhere. My cardio is non-existent.
I quit smoking about a year ago. I've also cut back on going out to maybe once a month, which is the only time I touch alcohol, and even then, I'm being reasonable. Physically, I'm built pretty well—my weight is fine compared to my height. I recently started working out because I realized how much I'd neglected myself, though it's going to take a while to get back in shape. I was incredibly lazy, but things are slowly turning around...
Morning wood happens very rarely now, but honestly, it’s much easier to get things moving in the morning than later in the day. Even if I don't have an erection right when I wake up, about half an hour later it usually kicks in properly once or twice, and then that's it... it won't happen again easily😢.
Edit: My immune system took a massive hit during that period, too.
What I want to know is, will my sex drive come back naturally since I’ve started living healthier, watching what I eat, and doing the stuff I mentioned above? Or should I be looking into medication? I read somewhere about a supplement called Vitasoy. Should I take that? If so, how much?
One more thing... I frequently get this weird, irritating sensation in my feet. It’s pretty annoying, but I’ve noticed it goes away when I lie down and rest. It mostly happens when I'm walking—everything feels normal when I first wake up in the morning.
I really need some help here. Any advice is appreciated.
