BellaOnline Forums Relationships Relationships sex drive ( a lack thereof)

I appreciate your reply to this., but he ahs been on the meds since the first of OCTOBER and here we are now on the first of DEC...so, I dont know what to think.
A part of me thinks that it is a lack of interest in me as a sexual partner. Sucks because I am at my peak of sexual cravings right now!!! Almost anything can make me want to go have sex! With him!!!! I restrain myself every time we sleep in the same bed...but How long can I do this before I look for satisfaction else where? and is that what he wants me to do? does he really not want me? Oh I dont know!!!!

I myself am going through this with my partner. I have never experienced it before in any of my other relationships. I spend a lot of time confused and sad over this. With feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. Like I said I have never felt like this before. I also wonder if I am desirable or wanted.

First of all, you and your BF need to NEVER do illegal drugs. It is both immoral and it could be damaging your body. Secondly, you should stop sleeping with your BF. If you don't, you will never know if he really loves you or is just using you until he moves on. Wait for marriage to have sex. If you're living together, you should move out until you get married.

My hubby had suffered from a low sex drive for years. Three years ago he took a job (doing the same thing but different company) that required us to move to a new state and after a while his sex drive returned. It was like he was a new man. He decided it was lack of stress and liking his job. At his old job he was under a lot of pressure and there was constant turmoil at his work. The owner of the company he works for now is very laid back and relaxed.

I have suffered from depression for years and have tried different medications. My doctor has taken me off them twice now and after a couple of months I was back on the meds. I am currently taking Effexor and it works well for me. Like Michelle the dr worked with the doseage to get it right. I come from a long line of depressed, self-medicating people. Three died in their late 40's from alcohol abuse related problems. Some of my relatives had comitted suicide. I hate to take medicine every day, but it makes me feel normal and I have seen the effects alcohol has on my family. My mother drinks and can't/won't quit. The only thing "good" that has come from that is she has made quite an impression on my children. One holiday I was the only nondrinker at a family gathering. My girls were early teens then and when we went home we had a long talk about how stupid drinking was (because everyone was drunk) and how proud they were that I don't drink.

Good for you that you don't drink. You are blessing your children in that way. I have a sure cure for your depression. First, give your life to Christ. Serve God and He will guide your life and give you the strength you are seeking. Secondly, go out and volunteer to help someone who is worse off than yourself. It will give you a sense of purpose beyond yourself and it will give you a good sense of perspective. It will make your problems seem small. If you give your life to Christ and follow Him, you will have the strength to reach out to try and save your family. It sounds like they need God's help. I will pray for you.

Have you tried Sentia pills? Good product and working rather effective.

Stay away from drugs, even legal ones. you don't want to rely on drugs. Rely on God.
