HI. I have no sex drive. IDK if it's because I'm depressed or if it's a new medication, but I don't even want to have sex right now which makes me sad because I'm usually a really sexual person. Has anyone else experienced some hinderance like this in their sex life?

HI HELLO I FEEL YOU-
I think I was this person for a really long time, but funnily enough when I went on the right anti-depressant for me I instantly became a sexual person again. (If you're really concerned about your medication changing your libido I would go chat to your doc!)
Also I think it's so completely normal right now because the world is so crazy to feel overwhelmed. There have been days where I wake up recently and feel like a complete potato and don't want any type of human touch haha.
It's also just a really normal thing in life to have a fluctuating libido. I've been with my boyfriend for awhile now and we can go a week or more without wanting to have sex, and that's SO NORMAL AND FINE. Just because the world advertises us to be super sexual all the time and to be happy we need sex everyday, doesn't mean you need to subscribe to that. I used to get so frustrated when either me or him didn't want sex because I felt like I was failing the picture perfect type of relationship, or that he was not really into me or something, but it's literally SO NORMAL to feel like you don't want sex. And this can last for long periods of time or just short bursts. Sex is only one part of human interaction/connection, and sometimes we crave a nice movie night sitting next to our bff more than having the craziest sex ever every night. And it goes vice versa too!
You should celebrate this time and do what you need to feel your best. And if that means no sex, hey it means no sex.
Any other thoughts on this topic!!!?
