I'm trying to figure out why my sex drive has hit an all time low, for about 2 years straight... I have a WONDERFUL, sexy husband. So the only thing I can think of is my severe Anxiety, and off/on depressive tendencies. I was only recently diagnosed officially. I've had severe mental health issues for about 10 years. It took me from age 14-18 to stop self harm and learn real coping skills, in 23 now, and the last two years I've started having panic attacks over things that normal people seem to cope with much easier. I realized something has got to change, so this week I'm trying medication for the first time in my life because I'm mentally exhausted, I cry almost every day etc. it's an SSRI. I don't know how my man has loved me through all of my ups and downs but he's stuck with me solid. I'm wanting to improve my sex life but when he initiates sometimes I just get tense or anxious or stressed. I'm like that a lot of the time unfortunately, hoping to get better as soon as possible.

Can anyone relate?

Did anyone have a better sex life after addressing their mental health problems?
