In response to: How to cope when a service calls emergency services on you

Hi @The-red-centaur ..... there must have been some relief in understanding what particular aspect of the ed behaviour was causing the physical symptoms, so perhaps, even though it is cold comfort, it can lessen some of the anxiety for you.
My hubby has a different form of ed, as yet undiagnosed, and more and more strange symptoms are emerging that he is self-medicating for ..... and I know we can’t tell him to just stop doing what he is doing. All we can do is walk along with him until he is ready to face up to the u derlying causes, and we can walk along with you here too ....
Thank you for reaching out. It’s scary on both sides of the fence, and if I can’t have such open communication with mr. f&h, it is helpful to be able to sit with you in the honesty of your situation .....
Hugs .... 💕
