Sex and Depression PTSD Anxiety

PTSD Depression and Sex

I got married just 2 years ago, after my PTSD kicked back up with depression and anxiety.

I still want sex with my spouse, but it's always no. I'm not dead, I still need closeness. It's been at least a year, more actually. I dont know what to do. It's sad and even more depressing and makes me feel alone even more.

Anyone else?

Have u talk to your husband about this? If u don’t have communication and u can’t express your needs as a woman I think y’all could benefit from counseling and if u can’t afford counseling talk to someone u truth u shouldn’t be in a marriage unhappy u going through something and your husband suppose to support u and love u look please pray about because if it been a year he doing something am praying for u

Hi, when you feel sad you need love. But love does not always have to involve sex. Hold your partners hand, cuddle in bed and give each other hugs and kisses, imagine you have. Just met your partner and you want to take it slow. They may be wary of you because they want you to get well but dont know what to do to help you. Dont think they know what you are thinking and what you need. Try to smile and be calm, this will allow them to approach you first. All my best wishes.
