I am 24 years old and I've been in a relationship with my partner for many years, all through which I have struggled with depression and anxiety. He has supported me and we have been through much together. He is the only person I have ever been in a relationship with. However, recently, my issues have become more severe. I am at the point that I don't even want to spend time with him. I don't get excited to see him, and I have zero sex drive (not just toward him, but in general - maybe this could be depression or Paxil related? Or just losing interest? I don't know). I even forgot about our anniversary, something I have never done.
Tell me, in your opinion(s) and experience(s), am I falling out of love with my partner, or is it my mental illness talking? |

Hello madqueer and welcome to PC
 I think it is definitely possible that your meds could be decreasing your sex drive, but I also think the meds could affect your feelings towards your partner. I know when I was on meds and with my partner I felt little and that affected us. It is also possible that you are falling out of love. I think you'll have to just really think about how you feel and if you want to continue to be with your partner. Maybe you could try couples counseling?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
