I'm getting really confused about sex and meds lately.
I know that the drugs I take for depression interfere
with sex, but I also know that in the past,this has lessened
with time, and with the right partner. I'm engaged
to the most wonderful man in the world, but I haven't
really been able to fully relax with him sexually.
I know most of that is the meds I'm on, but it's
also anxiety that I won't be able to "perform", to
get turned on very easily, etc. I don't know what
to do to get rid of the anxiety. It scares me to
even feel it b/c I worry that maybe we're not
sexually compatible or something and that scares the
shit out of me b/c that will mean we shouldn't get
married. I'm having fears about getting married too.
I've talked to him some about this, but I'm not sure
if it's really helped. I still don't know how to
relax, and I don't know how to tell him how to help me!Can anyone relate? I feel like I've always been a
really sexual person and that sex is important to
me, and all these issues are really scaring me and
making me sad.Please help...ruth
