Post SSRI/SNRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)

PSSD can set in during or after the use of an antidepressant. The absence of sexual feelings is the most common symptom, but this can be accompanied by dulled emotions, genital numbness, poor sleep and brain fog.

It really bothers me a lot that libido is part of what makes us US and yet the side effects could linger forever even when they had stopped taking the antidepressants.

It is really sad when they want to get rid of sadness in the first place, isn't it?

What do you think the patients should do if their physicians prescribe antidepressants for them for the maiden time? Should they consider CBT and digital therapeutic as a viable option too?

SexualDysfunction 1y

#SexualDysfunction so 3 years ago I was raped. Right after I developed sexual repulsion. I mean thinking about sex, talking about sex, reading about it too. I used to be hypersexual. I'm a gay trans man in the leather community, sex is the topic of the day every day in my community. Now I'm diagnosed with sexual aversion disorder. I'm 39 and get nauseous when sex is brought up in any capacity.
Except for one person, my ex girlfriend. I can talk about it till I turn blue in the face it seems. We had a very good sexual relationship 4 years ago and honestly she's the only person I'd feel safe with in that regard. She doesn't judge me or make me feel stupid for how my brain is handling sex. I think I might be falling back in love with her and that's not a good idea cuz she decided she's a lesbian now.
So I guess this is my life now, right? Hopeless and broken.

rant 1y

Sorry this is kind of long but I need to get this off my chest. #rant

Mental Illness is definitely a full time job. I do what I'm supposed to (take my medication and attend therapy) but sometimes it doesn't seem like enough. Some days my mental illnesses get the best of me.

My #BipolarDisorder was a diagnosis that was hard for me to accept. Up until then, I had never seen a mental health professional. I guess that's because others didn't see anything as wrong.

Struggling to keep my moods stable is hard enough without the emotional instability of #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder . Honestly, sometimes I hate being so emotionally unstable. My BPD has made me very sensitive to criticism and harsh truths. Even if I need to hear them.

I also have #PTSD from being sexually abused for a long time. I hate the memories and flashbacks that come with it. I hate the sexual dysfunction that is occurring and how it's impacting my love life. I just want to be free of all this sometimes. Especially the #PTSD . It angers me to think that I developed that because of how someone chose to treat me.

I can't stand myself sometimes. Some days I just want to hide from the world. I suppose part of me not liking myself comes from the abuse but the emotional instability only makes things worse. The fact that I have survived so much (abuse, abandonment, self-harm and a suicide attempt) should make me feel good about myself, but it doesn't. Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for reading.

What Men Should Be Asking Their Female Partners About Their Reproductive Health

Note: Not all cisgender heterosexual relationships are reflected in this story, and not all individuals with uteri are women. “What is endometriosis? I’ve never heard of it.” I stood in awe as I heard these words come out of the mouth of a person I know fairly well. This gentleman is in his 30s, well-educated, [...]

To My Gynecologist, From a Sexual Abuse Survivor With Endometriosis

Dear Gynecologist, My name is Monika and I am a child sexual abuse survivor with endometriosis. I’m writing to you today to voice my concerns with those in your profession about your proficiency in interacting with patients like me within your practice.

We Need Legislative Change for Both Mental Illness and Addiction

Not long ago, I noticed C-SPAN was going to be featuring testimony before Congress on mental health issues and legislation. I thought I’d see what was up. What I heard was a lot of questions about the opioid crisis and what the nation’s response to that ought to be. I tuned out and turned it off. [...]

7 Things I Learned From 'The Principles of Pleasure' as a Sexual Abuse and Endometriosis Survivor

I have written before about the ways in which my experience with sexual abuse and endometriosis have both impacted the ways in which I inhabit my body. Shame and a feeling of disembodiment accompany both and with that comes sexual dysfunction. Whether it’s emotional or medical, discomfort with intimacy and with pleasure become a pervasive [...]

When You're Afraid to Live With Parkinson's Disease

The future — the unknown. We spend our lives pursuing it, planning for it, dreaming about and wishing for what it will look like. Often the disappointments of life come about because what we had dreamed, hoped and planned for did not come about. In some ways, we are always chasing a dream — a dream [...]

Sexual Dysfunction-The End? Part 2

Where does suffering end and hell begins? When can we say with confidence that everything has gone out of hand?
It all began with an urge. My 'tools' weren't good enough to satisfy a girl but they were more than needed to quench my thirst.
And thus the avenue of online slut hunting began.
Camgirl sites, Cumtribute hunts and anonymous chatting websites became the norm of everyday and then came the Covid lockdown. All of these habits spiralled out of control. I started paying for the sites now. It almost cost me my relationship with the girl who accepts me with all my physical and mental flaws.
I stopped doing those things. But the urge is still there. Masturbation doesn't cut it anymore and damage to my self esteem and sense of being is irreparably shredded to pieces.
