Greetings all...
So ive been dealing with situational depression for almost a year now, lost my job about a year ago, along with ending a relationship that was mostly good for me... but still needed to end none the less... I guess alot of this didnt help and was underlying issue for issue i posted about a month ago, and while i have come to terms with that issue, im still having lingering issues with the other two...
One - I've been unemployed for over a year now, and in the last two months ive been on probably 45 interviews for jobs that I know that im qualified for, but i always get the well we also have others to interview and then never hear back from them, Ive even had several mock interviews with temp agencies and they said that i do good and should have no problems getting jobs but still havent so i know thats been a big one, since i feel like that I'm unable to provide for my sons that live with me or my other two that live with my ex. I'm pretty sure that most of this would be taking care mostly with just getting decent employment.. I've even been filling out apps with local fast food places and just about everywhere and still nothing...
Two - The second part is the relationship side of things, which is always been kinda a sore spot with me, after following the doctors and everyone else's advice ive changed alot about me, stopped smoking and started eating better, but no matter what im still having issues with ED and knowing that that part of me isnt working is making it hard (pun sorta not intended) to go out and meet people and try to start something, I know it shouldnt be all about that, but at some point it will have to come up and feeling that i wont be able to do those types of things is also messing with me, preventing some kind of happiness in that area...
Not sure if im looking for advice or just wanting to vent and get some of it out of my head even if just for a little while...

not really sure what to make out of your post though, situational always means it will pass though it might be as painful as a kidney stone. But it is better to pass a kidney stone than to use a kidney to get stoned.
If you are looking for work at a fast food place I will have to stand back and commend you... I would go ballistic/postal....not to mention ...well won't mention that.
And, as far as ED goes just tell him it was a one time thing and things are going better now, hey he don't need to know.
It may take awhile but things will change. Big Hugs
