Feeling extremely depressed

[Jimbo]

Hi,  I recently had a penis injury a couple months ago.  A few weeks after that I woke up with a painless indent on side of penis.  (Picture in the picture section titled is this peyronies.) I'm extremely depressed and don't know what to think.  Went to a specialists and didn't feel plaque but scheduled me for a ultrasound in three weeks.  I can't wait that long.  Every week I think my penis is shrinking more and more.  I have no friends a history of depression and a shrinking penis which will soon be bent.  I think about suicide all day and I don't trust myself to wait for three weeks.  On top of that I have severe pelvic floor dysfunction because I can never relax and hard flaccid.  Don't know what to do

Jimbo, please know that you are not alone in this.  All of us to one degree or another have felt the emotional pain from this disease.  Keep in mind that it will change, and it does get better.  You don't see that now because you are new to this and are going through the worst part of it now.  But there are treatments that help, and there are therapies on the horizon that may come very close if not an actual cure.  Focus your attention on other matters, while you wait for your Dr appt, I know that's hard to do.  Wait until you have a definitive answer, don't' play "what ifs" in the meantime.

In my case I was in depression for almost 3 months after I was diagnosed.  I was in bed on weekends and away from all social events.  I made myself snap out it.

Now my philosophy is, you have to care enough to throw everything you got at this disease but not care enough so it ruins your life!

Hang in there.  There are so many things you can try like pentox and VED.

Wise words have already been posted by restore and Litani. I also battle depression and Peyronies Disease has been one of the harshest blows I've ever had to deal with in my life. I'm trying to do everything I possibly can to combat the disease and then do my best to stay busy or make myself concentrate on other things to remain positive. If I dwell on my dick, in its present condition, neither I nor anyone around me will know any serenity. I guess it's like everything else, it's the attitude we chose to confront it with that will determine our quality of life as we work through it all together. At least through this form we have others in similar or even worse situations. I find strength in knowing are not alone and others before us have over come!

That is very well put.
