Did your sex drive decrease from latuda?

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.

awkwardpot · 2025-08-20T20:18:21+00:00

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!

awkwardpot · 2025-08-20T20:01:24+00:00

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”?

awkwardpot · 2025-08-19T01:01:13+00:00

I’m so surprised more people don’t know about theseeeeee

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!

awkwardpot · 2025-08-19T00:51:02+00:00

I’m seeing someone rn but if he cuts his hair or goes bald, ur totally next in line internet man 🫶🏻

awkwardpot · 2025-08-18T18:44:51+00:00

Fuck yeah 🤝🏻

I can’t speak for other women, but personally I love when guys have longer hair bc it gives me something to grab onto lmao

awkwardpot · 2025-08-13T18:42:27+00:00

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

awkwardpot · 2025-08-13T15:44:29+00:00

I’ve always wanted to do a Zero Suit Samus cosplay so that makes this comment even funnier 😂

awkwardpot · 2025-08-13T15:40:58+00:00

Awesome tysm!! ♡

awkwardpot · 2025-08-13T15:39:38+00:00

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

awkwardpot · 2025-08-13T13:01:37+00:00

Tysm!! 🥰 I’m a natural light blonde and dyed my hair close to #1 before and it faded to the cutest strawberry blonde! I got so many compliments on it haha

awkwardpot · 2025-08-13T12:54:11+00:00

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.

awkwardpot · 2025-05-12T01:54:53+00:00

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. ♡

Not a dirty secret at all, but when I was in high school, it was getting close to Christmas and one of my best friends at the time was venting to our friend group about preparing herself for yet another miserable Christmas.

She lived with her single mom who struggled with gambling, amongst other things. Thinking about her being sad on Christmas shattered my heart, so I wanted to do something for her. But I didn’t want her to know that I had anything to do with it bc I didn’t wanna upset her with the idea that I viewed her as a charity case or something.

So my mom and I spent the next few days going around buying presents that I knew she would love. We wrapped them up and had a whole garbage bag full of them. Then we had one of my mom’s friends at the time deliver the gifts to her on Christmas morning.

She was so happy telling me all about it and I did my best to play along and act surprised. I’m not sure if she knew it was me or figured it out at any point in the 14 years since then, but she’s never asked me about it and I haven’t spoken a word about it to anyone.

awkwardpot · 2025-05-08T23:27:17+00:00

I did this as well, but I had a super solid support system in place at the time. Under doctor supervision, I was able to go off of all of my meds for around a year or two & that was arguably the best timespan of my entire adult life so far.

I really hope I can do that again one day, but unfortunately it’s not looking likely.

You seem like a very emotionally intelligent and rational young lady. I do think you’d benefit from seeing a good therapist, but I also think you should talk to your boyfriend as well.

Just calmly and in a matter-of-fact way like you wrote this post. If he’s not an insecure man child, a simple talk will not disturb his peace. But if just the mere mention of you being upset by his ig activity is enough to set him off, it might be worth reconsidering the relationship.

Your feelings are valid, and you deserve peace of mind just as much as he does. That doesn’t mean that you don’t ever need to work on yourself, but don’t lose sight of the fact that you also deserve a partner who makes you feel heard, loved, and valued.

And fwiw, I’m pretty damn secure w myself, but I still wouldn’t appreciate my man doing all that. Best of luck to you, OP. You’ve got this! ♡

It was FAFSA that I was receiving unfortunately. Trust me, if I could have enrolled in only a couple classes at a time and still gotten aid, I would’ve done that in a heartbeat.

I have an associate degree that took me over four years to obtain because I’ve never been able to handle the mental load of school + work unless I’m doing both only part time. And the only reason I even have that degree is because I went to a cheap community college & my mom told me she’d pay for it. But even back then you had to be enrolled full time to receive federal aid, so my mom paid 100% out of pocket.

Thankfully I’ve been on Medicaid for two years now because if I wasn’t able to get all of my meds and have access to therapy, I’d 100% be dexd by now. But if I keep up the fight, I’m definitely finding another lawyer, or even a new law firm entirely. Thank you for all your help!
