Orenhak was on antidepressants. These medications often induce impotence, too.  He most probably stopped posting, because he is not treating his hepatitis C. Most people who stay on this forum are people doing treatment.

You need to go to a doctor and discuss this. Find another doctor who can help you with this. Sometimes taking viagra or the like for a period of time will help people get back on track. Are you on any kind of medication which could do this to you?

Seriously, you need to get some psychiatric help and then treatment for the hepatitis c.  If you firmly believe the hepatitis c is causing the impotence then go to the doctor and get treated with antiviral medications.  You're only 26 years old and with geno 3 the treatment duration is just 24 wks with a high cure rate.  Being young you will probably tolerate the treatment very well.

Think about what you're saying here.  You CANNOT solve these types of problem on the Internet.  When you are threatening suicide, nobody here can help you.  I don't know what kind medical assistance is offered in Bulgaria.  Your afflictions are treatable and curable if you will only seek the proper help.

Don't waste your life, do something about it.
