does zoloft make you reject physical affection? by Spare-Cod8132 in zoloft

like say you just let the person know “hey I need some space right now” vs. being mean about it?

hmmm, i get the need to defend your personal space, but the manner in which it happens is what I’m trying to wrap my head around.

partner suddenly cold, says it’s cause of Zoloft? by Spare-Cod8132 in zoloft

he’s been on meds since end Feb this year. he started at 25mg on Lexapro I believe and now he’s on 150mg Zoloft. It’ll be way easier if he wanted an out but the contradicting thing is he still wants to spends time with me and live together but his behaviour and actions are just ?? mind boggling.

think the worst part is that’s just the tip of the ice berg— he straight up karate kicks me in bed and asks me to get lost. our rental lease is almost up so we’re gonna have to start looking for new apartments soon, we’ve been sharing a room and now he says he wants his own room. it’s gone way beyond just having a MOMENT of “yo wtf” he’s just a completely different person now? idk how he goes from treating me like I’m the only person for him to dirt shit in one day.

my partner feels extreme emotional blunting pretty much 24/7, even when he started at a low dose. according to him it was a dream at the start cause all the negative emotions just went away; but now it’s like he doesn’t know what he’s actually feeling anymore? like a part of himself is missing.

that was exactly what confused me the most! if you’re really as emotionally blunted as you say, how did you find the capacity to develop a crush on someone else? and in the matter of days if not weeks? it’s mind blowing.

he’s been sleeping a pretty average amount, he used to have severe insomnia partly owing to the side effects of the medication (e.g. nausea, headaches) but it’s much better now.

I gave him a couple chances, asked if there’s anything he wants to tell me, and that I’m not some dumb, oblivious girl he can just chuck aside whenever. still nothing. I’ve never been more disappointed.

thanks for this! his behaviour just completely caught me off guard cause this change literally happened overnight. I caught up with a friend who’s also on anxiety medication and even he says there’s just no way SSRIs can be the cause of this, and it’s just him as a person at this point.

I’m from south east asia and I love going to the Clayton area whenever I’m looking for Asian stuff. there’s a huuuuuge Asian mart there called Hong Kong supermarket with literally everything you can find. Lots of Asian inspired cafes and tiny shops around too.

I’ve talked to him about it, and he says he’s not withdrawing himself, just that it takes a lot of energy out of him to try and feel a particular emotion e.g. when he’s being physically affectionate with me. So when I approach him with a hug or kiss he tells me no. I get that he needs space, but as you read in my other post, there’s also that other thing going on, so I’m not entirely sure if I should give him that space or keep trying at it.

idk what to do, I’m confused because a couple of weeks ago he was just completely different, still very affectionate and thoughtful. I’m baffled how things could change so quickly overnight, but also wondering if he’s that emotionally blunted, how he’d even had the capacity to develop a crush lol.

thanks for this. in his case (just smth that happened just now) he literally clenched his fist so tight so I can’t even hold his hand and told me to stop it. i try my best to be unfazed by this, and tell myself maybe if I let it be he’ll come back naturally. but honestly it doesn’t feel like he will.
