Since we are trying to find common things in depression. I figured I would start this one off.
This one may be a little offensive, but we have to get to the truth to find out if there are connections.

Okay. Is it just me or do you all ever find yourself more depressed after sex? Obviously not all the time, but most of the time.

It has happened in the past. After successful therapy, though, the afterwards are usually pretty nice now.

I don't think there are many positive things in life that depression and anxiety will not screw over big time.

oh! I know. I enjoy skittles more now than I use to do, especially while driving.

Well, you asked for the truth and this might be a little offensive too, or maybe more sad then anything. I was married to my last husband for 6 years and we didn't have sex in that entire 6 years. I tried to instigate it but he always just said he wasn't up to it, or he just didn't need it, whatever excuse he could conjure up. Now I know why, he was too busy figuring out how he was going to sexually abuse my granddaughter. Like his brother always tells me, I was just too old for him! S.O.A.B.

P.S. And I want to make it clear, that in those 6 years, I did not stray once. I believed in my vows. Guess he believed in young girls. Karma baby, he did get his Karma!!!!

Sorry, I meant to delete that post above.

I guess what I am trying to say is when you are young you tend to think that sex will cure anything. As I have grown older, I find that sex is not the answer to all of life's woe's. You have to work on your main issues before you can enjoy the pleasant things in life. Just my experience.
