I was getting divorced when I found out I had PCa in December. Probably like everyone else had no clue this was coming. No cancer on either side of the family grandma turned 100 last year. I had lesions on both sides of the prostate treated with HIFU in May. I really regret the divorce that was final in last month. We live in a small town and people know I got this cancer. Now I live in a one bedroom apartment single and currently impotent. I'm losing hope quickly

Yeah that sucks! In the immediate future I can only suggest exercise if you aren't already doing that. Bike riding would be good if you can. Also try and get involved in some other activities. A church group, A night shop class at the local community college, something along those lines. Chin up guy, it'll get better.

Focus on something you love doing, master it, keep occupied.

Probably something will change eventually and you'll get fresh, interesting experiences.

I have battled depression for 30+ years. I have a savvy psychiatrist whom I have seen for last 18 years. He literally saved my life in 2001. Strongly recommend you seek help from a psychiatrist, and perhaps psychologist. Both have helped. No need to go this alone. Yes, I take anti-depressants; took some time before finding what worked, but the effort was worth it, have been stable for many years.

One more thing: keep masturbating, does a world of good for your libido and mood.
