Is this normal sometimes at this age and time in a person's life? It has been over a year since I have felt this way, and some of my girlfriends say they went through a time like this at my age too..
I also recently went on anti-depressants because my mom has cancer that I find hard to deal with (for the past 5 years), I am stuggling with what I want to do with my career and hate my job, and just feel sort of confused and lost. But this has been for a while now. Are you still suppose to have the same butterflies and excitement as you did after 7 years? Help! He treats me very well.

Wow, you seriously described how I felt for a long time. It is completely normal to not feel intimate. Stress was a huge factor in my life and probably what caused the lack of intimacy. I went through exactly what you are going through. Just take care of yourself one thing at a time and everything will fall back into place. I ended up finding a different job that wasn't really what I wanted but so much less stressful. Try to involve your boyfriend to help you make decisions on where you want to go in your life as it will make him feel wanted and special that you confided in him, maybe even though he already is. It's just a sign in how much you trust and want his opinions. Hope all goes well with you.

Sounds as if you lost the spark to your relationship. Maybe its telling you that you need a break and need to focus more on your career or picking it back up. Your stressed out and your wanting to move on as well from your social and professional life
This is something that you alone must decide. Either stay where you are, in a rut or reinvent yourself and become a newer you. The longer you "sit" the more likely you will be to become stagnant in your situation. Hope you choose the latter. Good luck

if you have to much on your plate then of course being intimate is not gonna be on your mind-- that is totally normal..... for some people when they get stressed they want more sex some don't want it at all.... it also could have something to do with the anti depressants.... they can definitely kill the sex drive-- don't sweat it girl... you'll be fine!! and if your man can't respect whats going on then that's definitely not right! best of luck

It's normal for the spark to dim after seven years, but anti-depressants don't help the libido at all.

Anti-depressents reduce your sex drive. If you come off the meds you should feel better.

Yes it is normal... When will you women admit that there are certain men that you just like as friends and that you can not marry your friend, you must make your lover your friend...

GET OFF THE DRUGS.LET HIM HELP YOU THROUGH THIS ROUGH TIME.THE MORE YOU LET HIM HELP YOU THE MORE YOU WILL WANT TO BE WITH HIM. ANTI-DEPRESSANTS JUST COVER UP THE PROBLEM.NOT FIX IT.
