Evening All,
Over the past 10-12 years, since Uni really, I have suffered quite badly from depression. Apart from somehow managing to have a career, the past decade has disappeared down a black hole. As as side effect, I think, I also suffer from Erectile Dysfunction.
Thankfully over the past year things have improved massively & I seem to be through my depression. Sadly not so much the ED. I am feeling normal again & very much wanting to get on with things instead of sleeping my life away behind drawn curtains.
However the depression & associated conditions has left me with few friends and almost none of the life experience you would expect of a 35 year old man.
I have recently met a girl I like very much and things are going well. I am however holding back because I am terrified of telling her all this and scaring her away. However it needs to be done, otherwise it would not be fair to either of us.
I am therefore looking for advice on the best way to explain all this to her, hopefully without scaring her away. If it was you when (in a new relationship) & how would you like to be told this? Or is ignorance bliss?
Thanks.
