I'm never in the mood for sex anymore. I feel sad and empty all the time. I just can't get up the desire. It's frustrating my partner though. I'm not sure what I should do about it.

Depression kills my sex drive. Working out seems to help me. Maybe the increased testosterone. Not sure if that works for women. Sometimes I just fake interest to keep my partner happy. I wish I had better advice, but I struggle with this sometimes too. I hope you can figure things out.

Actually, Adam, testosterone controls the sex drive in men and women.
Thanks for this!

I did not know that. You learn something new everyday.

I totally did not know that either lol, thanks. Well I am sure on the side of working out. Meds too can squash desire. I was on Celexa for 3 months and I experienced what you are describing Army Girl, and I finally decided that the sex was more important. But at one point it was not as important as stability, its up to you about that though of course. Also, when I fix myself up etc. it really lifts my self-esteem and I feel like a present that needs unwrapping. Maybe this could help you too. Hope this helps (((Army Girl)))
