There's absolutely no shame in using medication long-term or short-term and I think that your partner should take that even as a compliment right that they are important enough for you to go on medication to facilitate your sexual relationship. That's pretty awesome. That's like a big leap and it's not convenient for you and

You're willing to do that. So I think that's cool. Hey everybody before we start the show I want to make a couple disclaimers

This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general and some of those could be sensitive for you. I want to simultaneously encourage you to be

brave and consuming difficult content but also respect and

recognize your limitations. So please use your best judgment. I will never be

offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely but feel free to

feel it out check out the episode and just see what happens if you need to skip that's okay but you know feel free to give it a shot first I also need to say that while I am a psychologist I'm not your psychologist and I'm not your therapist.

This is not intended to be direct medical advice and you should not use this as a

substitute for professional help. So with those said let's go ahead and get into the

show. All right, hello friends of all varieties, this is a hardcore self-help podcast episode

286 I'm your host Dr Robert Duff aka Duff the psych and make mental health

content for real people just like you and I have a question and answer

episode today.

Two really good questions, one about taking time off

and having anxiety about it.

One about a rectile dysfunction, actually.

So a couple different types of questions,

but I like having a variety, so thank you for that.

If you want to send me a question to answer on the show,

please shoot me an email, doth the psych at gmail. That's the best place for me to find questions. And as I said, last time I've been getting a lot of good ones. So thank you for that. Appreciate you all. I am a little bit worn out today. I'm not sure if you'll be able to hear it in my voice, but man, I made a blunder this morning.

It actually, everything worked out well. It worked out perfectly in terms of time and stuff like that, but it nearly could not have. Usually when I have a neuropsych testing cases, I start them at like 9 o'clock in the morning. This one happened to be at 10 because it was farther away. It was a home visit.

And I forgot to pack all my stuff, like all my testing materials and everything when I was at the office yesterday.
