Depression, anxiety and medication affecting our dynamic. Any insight?
Our situation is the following. My wife suffers from chronic depression, anxiety, and what in our geographic area is known as a “highly sensitive person,” meaning, simply put, someone prone to experiencing emotional highs and lows more intensely than most people. I do not know what the proper term for that would be in the USA.
The point is that therapy and medication obviously have a negative effect on her libido, not just regarding including a third person, but even in our regular sex life. When we do have sex, it is intense, but over the past two years I have to admit the occasions have become more spaced out.
She has tried diets, supplements, natural products, etc., but the change is usually marginal at best. I love her and I will always support her, but the situation is uncomfortable for both of us. I do not pressure her, but her frustration about the issue is visible, especially because she genuinely enjoys being a hotwife.
Have any of you lived through something similar? Were you able to overcome it, or what has helped you deal with it? Any physical or mental suggestions would help us.
