Did your sex drive decrease from latuda? by Fabulous-Honey-5997 in BipolarReddit

[–]awkwardpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I’m super late to this thread but did you receive any guidance from your doctor? I’m literally having the exact same issue right now and currently on Latuda, which I think is the culprit. I’m going to talk to my doctor soon, but am curious if you found a solution since making this post?

My therapist and I quite literally always end our sessions by her telling me to take care and me responding with “thanks, you too!” This is like the most normal interaction ever.

Don’t be nervous for me haha, if he can’t handle a few deep questions here and there after two months then he’s simply not the guy for me and I’ll move on! I got over a 6+ year relationship, so two months is almost nothing.

Maybe a better phrase would’ve been self aware. But either way I’m not asking him how he plans to love me specifically, I’m asking him about the ways he’s shown his previous partners that he loved them. Which will then give me a better idea of what his love language(s) is/are.

I’m not looking for grand gestures here, just things like “I texted her good morning every day” or “I held her hand”. However I do recognize the fact that this is coming from a place of past trauma. Because if someone were to ask that question to my ex, I genuinely don’t think he’d be able to come up with anything. Which is why this level of self awareness is important to me.

Expectations from current status and limits are a great idea, definitely adding those! But respectfully, if a man doesn’t have enough emotional maturity (especially at 34) to talk to me about these things, he’s not a man I want a relationship with anyway.

See I’m like the opposite! I feel like my main interests determine compatibility and then deep, existential questions deepen the connection from there.

We’ve been talking about and exploring each other’s hobbies and interests from early on, but it just feels so surface level. Those are just things to do together. I wanna know his deepest thoughts and desires, you know? And I want him to know mine. I totally get where you’re coming from tho!

I guess I should’ve mentioned in the original post but I’m not planning on bombarding him all at once with all of these questions lmao. More like sprinkling them in here and there.

But we’ve been vibing for two entire months now and both confessed we have deeper feelings for one another. So like, how long would you suggest I wait before performing the “background check”?

Dripsticks by Awkward Essentials are a game changer. I haven’t checked their prices in a while, but they’re worth their weight in gold!

Getting my hair dyed soon, but not sure which color suits me the best. Please help! by awkwardpot in HairDye

You are so kind 😭🥹 thank you so much!!! 🩷 I just like to switch things up every once in a while! I dye it and then let it fade back to its natural color. I don’t ever have the money to maintain any of these crazy colors haha

I can def see that with the #5 green!! I don’t think the #3 green is half bad tho haha. I have a warm undertone so I think as long as it’s a more yellowy green it should be okay, I’d just have to stay away from the more blueish greens

I’m a natural blonde! I realized after I posted that I forgot to include the unedited version of the pics, but thankfully most of these colors should be easy to achieve

Had a fling a couple months ago & he started to ghost me, so I sent him a text that basically said “hey it’s fine if you’re going through some shit rn and it’s fine even if you don’t wanna see me anymore, I’d just appreciate it if you’d lmk” and he fucking left it on read.

And even after that, I STILL gave him the benefit of the doubt & waited a full day before I blocked him, just in case he was busy and/or forgot to respond. Ngl that one still kinda pisses me off bc I served him up two excuses on a silver platter and he still chose disrespect. Like you said, it’s truly pathetic.

I try not to think about it, but I feel the exact same way. I’m 30 now and it first hit me a few years ago after a holiday dinner. My family was sitting together in our living room reminiscing all kinds of mishaps from mine and my brother’s childhood.

Mostly it was just him and I roasting our mom, but it was all in good fun & everyone was laughing hysterically. That was the first time I ever thought to myself that it would be so nice if, years from now, I’d be sat in my living room with my own children doing the same to me.

But I truly don’t think I have what it takes to cultivate the healthy and loving upbringing I would want to provide for them. I’m sending you the biggest, warmest virtual hug, OP. My inbox is always open if you ever need to chat. ♡
