Depression ...... sex therapy?
|
Depression ...... sex therapy? So I will admit that I suffer from major depressive disorder with panic/anxiety. I hate it & want more than anything for it to go away. Do you think sex is therapy for depression? Endorphins are released, which makes you feel better. Or is it just to mask what’s going on & makes things worse?  |

The short answer is *Yes!*, but this affirmation comes with some caveats. While sex can CAUSE anxiety (something ALL of us experience at some point, in our desire to please our lover), it is more closely linked with depression (typically, depression kills sex drive). Relying only on the information provided in your blog post, I speculate that your anxiety is not linked to a deep depression. (Recognizing that periodic melancholy happens to ALL of us and is a normal consequence of being a sentient creature in this world) I suggest that rather than use sex as a short-term tonic (although it absolutely could mitigate a bout of *panic*) that you work towards building a relationship that leads to intimacy. That process should prove more effective and enduring in building the confidence and love-of-self that are necessary to make anxiety manageable. Acknowledging and discussion your situation is HUGE first step toward resolution. Good on you! Sending positive thoughts your way!

Depression in any form should be discussed with a mental health care professional. Even mild symptoms could indicate larger concerns. I encourage you to seek out professional care as soon as possible. Welcome to the blogs. “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ― Oscar Wilde

I am in total agreement with "BiggLala". She's right. Using sex to cope with depression isn't a good idea. It will turn into an addiction that will feed on your soul, mind and spirit. It will eventually consume you. I know. I have been there and sought professional treatment for the addicition. I am much heathier now! You must deal with the root of the problem that is causing you to be depressed. Go see a therapist. Talk to someone about what's eating at you. Dig deeper. And as a side note, Sex is amazing. It does feel good. But keep it in the right perspective and in its place so it doesn't lose it's meaning.

Its not just the physical act of sex...its the emotional connection to another being that may help. Intimacy is much more than physicality. Having a special person, a good therapist and a combination of medication which is frequently monitored is the key. Using your body for the physical act will end up backfiring~~

That's definitely something a guy would say! I missed that in your profile. It all really depends on the outcome of of that given session of therapy.Especially if it turns out to be a wham bam (thank you mam)That part is usually left out in cases of entitlement! Using more than all the road!

Great sex would only go well with other good feelings, but certainly can be a temporary diversion from other stresses in life. Perhaps just one tool in managing a recurring situation.

Sex will absolutely make you feel better both mentally and physically. Going without it can be just the opposite taking a toll on your mind and body.
