Hurray!
The dismissal of significant weight gain and the loss of sexual libido can be absolute showstoppers for many. Humans simply are not programmed to want to be overweight, or to not be able to feel their genitals. Being thin and sexually desireable is deeply, deeply ingrained in the human psyche, like it, or not. That's the way it is. It is not right to tell someone else they should not care about it. BTW, I have suffered from (and still do) suicidal depression for years.
Depression for decades. Suicidal off and on. Anxiety has gotten severe lately. Sleep disorder. Probably neurological problems. Plummeting blood pressure. Chronic fatigue syndrome. Nothing anybody can see.
I don't want to be depressed, or suicidal. I also don't want to be 40 pounds overweight and never be able to have sex again. Of course, I am in a third category, where I've gained weight, my libido is suppressed, and the medecines don't work well.
