Anons, I need help.
I'm M 25 and gay. I live in a big, cool city full of gays and am told that I'm handsome and get hit on. I get told that I'm smart and great for deep conversations and have good grades. But for years now I am miserable, even though I am in therapy. I have never had a boyfriend and my sex life is so bad that I started doing escort sutff. Including BDSM in groups and it went up to 13 young guys orgies. But still, I am never capable of coming. Only when I masturbate. I am blocked, maybe it is internalized homophobia, self hate. As a teen I cut myself and still sometimes do it. I take meds, duloxetine antidepressants. I have sexual drive, they don't block it. It's in my head. I have problems trusting people and my best friends are the ones from high school I rarely see. I haven't finished my degree in years, only now it's slowly happening. I feel ridiculous, like a baby. I often spend the day sleeping, whenever I can. I have semester break and haven't left the house for 4 days after traveling and seeing my old friends and barely eat anything. I don't know what to do. I have anxieties and self-hate and meds and therapy don't help.
How does this sound? What would you do? Any feedback?

I have nothing useful to say but I hope things work out for you. Keep at it. Searching is the first step toward solving.

Bump because puppy.
You sound depressed; I'm sure Dr. Shekelstein has more pills he can prescribe you.

Sounds like my life lol
You should probably forego sex and relationships for awhile and actually buildup a new friends group. That's what I did and it has helped lots. I'm not entirely sure when I'll start having sex or dating again though. I did have sex like a year ago which was alright but I never really liked casual sex to begin with.
I tried befriending other gay guys but they're not really "friends" since they only want to hangout when they're horny.
I'd recommend checking out subreddits for whatever hobbies you have and see if there's anyone in your city that wants to hangout. Also if you smoke pot go on /soc/ and ask if anyone wants to hangout and toke.
