I get no physical connection with my SO other than a kiss goodmorning
and sometimes a kiss goodnight. It's bothering me so much because I can't
bring up the subject. The whole thing is very complicated but the bottom line
is I'm sleeping during the day too much and can't sleep at night ,( and I know it's depression). It's not just about sex. We hardly touch at all during the course of the day. We have all day together and yet no time for love. Is being 65 the end ? Seems like I'm just around for financial reasons. Just waiting to die.

I am so sorry you are struggling. Are you seeing someone for the depression? Are you both retired? How long have you been together? Have you ever done couples' therapy? why can't you bring up the subject?

I have bipolar type 1 and have the same sleep problem. My clock is reversed and I can't seem to get it turned around. The sleep experts have all said the same thing. I HAVE to stay up alll day and try to go to bed like a 'normal' person. I am trying.

This is not the end. Don't give up. You just need some help.

Do you see a doctor or take medication? Do you have a diagnosis?
