Hi, I am a 28 yrs old guy and from where I am right now, life looks completely hopeless. ]
I was always very good at what I did… at school (was top in the class), work (among the best), etc. Three years back, I lost my dream job (where I was slated to reach a very high management position), because someone else screwed with my work. I took another job after sometime, in another industry because I was not sure what I really wanted to do with my life. I was good at this job too, but not happy as this was not what I really loved to do. I somehow dragged myself through this for 2 yrs and kept researching on what my true calling is. Last year I discovered what I want to do and took some relevant professional exams. I am hoping great results. But to prepare for the exams, I had to leave my previous job, and since last 2 months, I have applied to every kind of company in the field, but I havent got much response from anyone. I dont want to take up a job in another field, as that would again bring me back to a situation where I would want to change the industry after climbing up the ladder at that job. In my new job, I ll have to start all over again, although growth could be fast. But first few months would test me hard!! I see all the people who were with me 3 yrs back, or even subordinates have reached great places, n I am stuck in the current situation, although I was better and it wasnt my fault.
Another problem I am facing is that at around the time I lost my previous job 3 yrs back, I found that I have developed Erectile Dysfunction. I dunno how, but it just happened. I thought that it might be due to the stress and will correct with time. But many years have passed and I still get only weak erections.
My girlfriend, who I love a lot, has been all supportive throughout this period and has been waiting for me to get settled so we can marry soon. Her parents dont want to wait anymore and want to get her married asap (in my country, what parents say matters a lot!) But I dont see how that is going to happen considering my circumstances. If I dont get settled with my career soon, I may lose someone who loved me through my toughest times for many years.
Now my job situation may improve and I may get all the professional success I always wanted… but that still would leave me with the ED prob I have developed. I tried different exercises with no effect. I am scared I may lose my love someday due to this as I wont be able to satisfy her and I ll be lonely for life. Right now, she says she understands and is okay with all that… but dunno for how long… I m losing hope, coz nothing seems going right. On one hand, there is the frustration of being left far behind everyone else who was with me, with catching up looking like a slim possibility and on the other, there is this fear that I may lose my love if I dont settle quickly or even later if I cant satisfy her. We are going to see a doc soon. But I dont see much hope, as I ve read that in most cases ED is incurable.
I have lost interest in anything and dunno what to do. In fact writing this is making me feel a bit better, dunno why. But that doesnt solve any of my probs and a lonely life without my love appears completely hopeless to me.
What should I do?

From what I understand ED is completely treatable with medication of even prosthetics. Til then cunilingus can be a great alternative (sorry to be so explicit) if she’s into that.
As for work it sounds like your on the right track. I wish I had even some inkling as to what I want to do professionally. You’ve got time on your side it seems.
Hope this helps.
