Is it normal?

I will keep this short and won’t over share but I have no one else to talk to about this.

I don’t feel like ever being “romantic” anymore

I miss that and want it back

Is this normal?

How can I change this?

My antidepressants make me this way. Unfortunately, it's something that I have to live with in order to keep my sanity :/

Could it be due to antidepressants indeed?

Do you think it is because of medication? Like my boyfriend literally called me right now to ask if I want to see him and I told him whatever. It’s like it affects me so bad I don’t even care anymore and I want to be as cheerful and happy as before

I am the same I firmly believe its the medication hence the reason I tried coming off them but my personal life was a mess ended up back on them meaning my relationship suffers.

Hi, I'm sorry your going thru this, it is normal if you are on meds for depression/anxiety. You can check on some ideas for couples to rekindle their relationship. You doing things like leaving them random notes, pay them 2 compliments a day, and so on, I know there are books that offer suggestions. You have to push through it at first then you will start to fall in love again, and hopefully their response helps you too! Hope it helps you some! Hugs to ya!!

Sorry to hear you are having these feelings. This can be caused by a lot of things. Mental, physical, health, diet, stress, lifestyle. Are you physically active? Do you eat a pretty healthy diet? Are you involved with someone who makes you feel happy and complete? There could be health issues. How well are you?

Depression might have been what caused my lack of "romantic" satisfaction. The meds probably made it worse. Kicking out my spouse four years ago totally stopped my desire to share my life with a new partner or even attempt romance with anyone. I do joke about it with some of my friends and I have a person who wants me to be more interested in him. I told him I'm not ready to make myself vulnerable to more betrayal. Time might change that but it might take a while.
