I don't know how to convince anyone that's probably not the case at all, so humor me for the sake of the argument that the only thing missing in our M is sex. We're happy. She's happy. She doesn't feel "normal" I think is why she got on Cymbalta, but you'd never know from what she says or how she acts, including with me.
Uh, no she's not. I truly think this is delusional thinking. A happy person is not prescribed Cymbalta. Cymbalta is used to treat severe depression. There are other meds that could be used to treat not feeling normal. We've all been trying to get you to see that your W is seriously depressed. I have a lot of friends on ADs who just need a little help, and they are mostly on Zoloft and Paxil. She isn't taking this Rx so she can avoid having sex...
It's not about the sex for her, buddy. She's trying to survive here. Maybe Bug is right that you can't go through this with her?
I've been through depression, clinical, when I decided I didn't want to be a doctor anymore.
I get that it's not ok for me to say it's not depression. So I'm stuck, right? Her doctor gave her Cymbalta, so no matter what she or I says, I'm the a-hole and she's trying not to kill herself? Sorry, I don't buy it, I think her doctor didn't know what else to do and thought it was worth the risk. But I can't ask. No. I know that, of course.
