I don't post much but this subject relates to me a lot and it is amazing how attitudes to this are changing especially towards men, I to have had bouts for the last decade since I was 24.
I have tried many tablets and tbh none have really worked for me but everyone is different. CBT has helped and I am just finishing with my latest
course.
I find the best thing is to keep active/exercise and good support from family and friends although it is difficult to do when you just want to be alone but people will help and stand by you.
