Hello there!

I wasn't sure if belong is the Sexual Issues section but I want to hear about how my fellow bipolarians (haha new word), deal with this issue.

I have lost my sex drive. I mean it is zilch, nada, kaput. I mean I haven't had actual sex in a very long time, and that's okay, but this it is interfering with my relationships/friendships with men, and even my writing.

Now look, I am not saying that women are "required" to be sexual when dealing with friends or even writing, but I do miss that "spark" of a hint of naughtiness I used to have. It was fun you know. Fun to be flirty, fun and spontaneous. Even my desire "take care of myself" is kaput.

Is this med related? I mean I have been on the same meds for many years, and it never really was an issue. Have any of you had a dip in your libido during your bipolardom? (new word again haha!).

Could this be an episode or a mixed state? I mean my mood is okay, I am not down or depressed. But I just turned down a roleplay (I love to collaborate on stories), because it was an on an adult roleplaying site and I think he was expecting some sort of erotica. (I know there are PG roleplaying sites, but I want some sort of fun but I don't? What the hell?)

I am so lost and confused with this. I want to bring back the spark, but I just can't. And I know you can't force these things.

Libido, oh libido where have you gone?

Can anyone else relate to this?
