Hi guys, it has been awhile since I've posted, but I do keep reading here and there. Recently I was place on oral contraceptives for perimenopausal symptoms and an SSRI for anxiety. Both of these meds have delivered a one-two punch to my sex drive. I know the way back for me is to get my mind in gear again, but I am at a loss getting started. I went over to Borders and nothing had any sort of erotic appeal to me...I really feel like a physically changed person as it relates to libido. Things with H have been moving along splendidly; he has this surge of desire ( and affection) for me, and I want to capitalize,lol. Even he jokes that he doesn't know how long this will last for him ( mid-life anxiety stuff). He is not one to read erotica to me and not especially verbal, so I want to ( and feel it's my responsibility) get myself going again. I will probably be on these meds awhile.

As far as my father goes, it has been a real rollercoaster; recently he was transferred from the nursing home back to the hospital for yet another round of pneumonia. And yet, he seems to be rallying again, I think.

Hope all is going ok with everyone's summer.
