hi, there,:)
it could very well be a hormonal problem...perhaps you should get your hormone levels checked.

> It's like, I want to want sex, but I don't really. I'm only 26, but I've had depression since I was 12. I had a strong libido until about half-way through college. I had taken libido-killing antidepressants, and struggled to get off them. Now I'm taking Wellbutrin and a small dose of Klonopin. I thought going off the other antidepressants would help, but my libido is still low.
> Maybe it's the depression itself. But even in times when I feel sort-of okay, and I'm not acutely suffering, my libido is still missing. I want to have a sex life. Sex is an important part of your identity. Especially at my age.
> My days are fraught with worry and sadness and frustration. I have brief times of actually feeling good, but most of the time I feel pain or flatness. I've often felt that I'm an elderly woman in a 26-year-old body, after all the hell I've been through. I can't say I feel excited or fired-up about much of anything.
> I just feel a deep sense of loss and incompleteness because of my lack of libido.
