Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and if you do, how do you deal with it? I am in the long process of coming off high doeses of epilim and am also on 100mg Zoloft. I am being treated for PTSD following a life time of recurrent depression, anxiety and all sorts of dramas. I have never had an issue before with libido (although I have always taken a while to get going) even being highly medicated but I am now in a new relationship with a gorgeous girl (I am lesbian) and I am having huge issues with my mojo. I have had flings with men and women since my last relationship and I have not had any sexual satisfaction with any of them.
Even when I try to "do myself" it takes a good half an hour of really going at it and often I end up just giving up because I cant be bothered. It is embarrassing and makes my partner feel inadequate and its a put off for both of us. I have ordered some pharmacy grade goat weed and am hoping that will help. I dont understand why now that I am saner than I have ever been, and less medicated I am having these issues. Does anyone have any ideas?

get off the meds and your libido will get back to normal. you can talk to your doctor about possibly reducing the dosages of the meds so you can get back your libido. why don't you try natural medicine that have lesser side effects than prescribed pills with massive side effects? also drinking lots of water, eating fruits and vegetables and staying away from soda, fatty foods will help you feel better. i pray that you get back to the normal life you were used to.

The more normal I feel the less I want it....drives my David nuts sometimes!! I wish I had some advice for you, but I don't. I usually give in to him, I could care less if I finish, it's all about him. He understands how I am now, so it isn't much of an issue for us anymore. Funny thing is, I've been so anxious the last few days, and I want him sooooo badly and he just hasn't been in the mood......keep your fingers crossed for me tonight!! I think he is holding out on me on purpose, he probably thinks it will make it that much better, with all of the anticipation and all.....Good Luck! I do know how frustrating it can be.....

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
