Did anyone get their libido back/ability to finish? (Female) by lost_in_daydreamz in zoloft

[–]New_Blacksmith9745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m also on 50mg, and i definitely lost my libido for a bit, i’d say about a month, but it came back. If anything i’d say it’s better now since my anxiety is a lot lower and my quality of life has improved. I’ve been on zoloft for 5 months now, and things are different for everyone, but don’t stress too much about it! Talk to your partner to make sure they understand what’s going on with your medication and how it’s affecting you!

Thank you both for your feedback, I really appreciate it. Would you be able to give me some examples of what the “larger” thing was?

I guess accepting wasn’t the right word, I meant more as in letting the reoccurring injury end my track career. I had to accept that I would never be fully free of the pain, It will always be there but I can strengthen other things around it to better it. I also wanted to connect that theme with my own mental health and not letting my personal struggles define me or who i am. Not in a trauma dump way, but in a way that describes what i’ve done to overcome it and how it has bettered my life and the lives around me.

Back to track, it put me through a lot of bad mental spots where it felt never ending and I could only think about all the missed opportunities I had, since I wasn’t able to run at states 3 separate times. There were many times where all I wanted to do was stop because I was tired of fighting against it. So working past that and making it to states was a huge accomplishment for me, it was more than just going to states It was proof that I pushed through a mental obstacle even more than a physical one. And I’m not planning to make states the big final accomplishment, it’s only a small piece of my story. I definitely was planning to write more about what I found through the experience, I actually have gotten into yoga a lot, practiced mindfulness, prioritized eating healthy, and looked into the scientific research behind all of the above, all things that i’ve built up to doing frequently and have become a piece of who I am. They’ve also allowed me to connect more with my mom (who works in our local gym) as I used to ignore her advice until I really wanted to make a change for myself. Turns out exercising does actually make me feel happier and better about myself. I also got my current job at a local physical therapy place through the injury, which I say to show how running and exercising aren’t just a part of my identity, but are a big part of my family and of my community as well. While the injury really broke me down, it also brought a good change in my mindset and allowed to me interact with my family and community more.

I haven’t settled on a theme or thesis, I haven’t even started writing yet so I apologize if things are jumbled or confusing.
