Hi, Sincereheart (love your name!) Welcome to 'here' and what is, for me, a brave first post - the sex / depression stuff is a big thing for me, you are not alone there. But its still horrible, eh ?

I can remember my dr telling me that lack of interest in sex is one of the first signs of depression and one of the last symptoms to disappear once you get better !

Add to that, the known side effect of anti-depressants such as prozac and the other SSRIs of loss of libido - not good is it ?
Are you on any of these ?

I have been on them for 3 years, before that I was interested in and enjoyed sex but almost as soon as I began them, I lost interest. It has caused a lot of difficult moments and a lot of compromise between me and my wonderful partner. I feel for him so much and on good days try and be creative around what we can do.

I hope you can come to some kind of terms with this issue - its bad enough being depressed without this and then, if you have one, coping with the communication, feelings and stuff that it brings up in your partner !

Wishing you luck and you can always share your feelings here, ppl will understand ..............look after yourself ........ Poppet
