I (24F) have been with my bf (24M) for little over 4 years now. We have always had a decent sex life, interrupted maybe by a few periods of lack of libido due to stress. He is great and never forces me into anything or expects anything.
Since the beginning of this month, my libido has been on the floor. Nothing in particular triggered it. I quit my job at the beginning of last month but I am not seriously stressed about that, it was a toxic environment and I have enough money to get by for a bit. I have also had a few interviews. I then concluded that it must be my anti-depressants which I have been on for little over a year.
However, I quickly started having immense anxiety around anything that could lead to sex. For example, my bf kissing me, playfully grabbing my butt, etc. All things that I am typically fine with and know will only lead to sex if I reciprocate. This anxiety is making me not want to be touched.
I thought it would go away on its own but it has not. It’s making me stressed and I can tell my partner is getting worried about me. Has anyone ever experienced this before? If so, please can you share some advice as to what might ease the anxiety or improve the situation?
