Libido Issues please help!!!!?
I am 21 y/o and i am on birth control and prozac for anxiety and depression. I have notice a significant decrease in sex drive and weight gain. I am very happy with my boyfriend and i love him very very much we have been together 7 years now and broke up for a year at one point. I dont know what to do. I am attracted to my bf. My stress level is way up. My parents are alcoholics. I have a good job i work for Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. I pay for my own school to become a nurse. The only thing i am sad about is that i want a mom and there is nothing i can do to change how she wants to live her life. But other than that i dont know what to do about my libido bc its def affecting it i cant even concentrate on it anymore. I zone out. Dude i am 21 years old i shouldnt be like this. Does any one have any advice?? Please help. I wanna go back to having good enjoyable sex??????? How >???

A lot of times in order to be able to enjoy sex (or even want to do it) you need to be able to relax.
This can be more difficult than it sounds - especially with your busy schedule, stress, family issues, and other factors.
Guys can usually drop everything, and get it on at a moments notice - but women tend to need a little bit more time.
You should start by focusing on the positive things in your life - health, good job (especially in todays financial climate), friends, and other family members (if any). Keep in mind that birth control messes with your hormones, and god only knows what prozac is actually doing to you.
There are obviously cases where anxiety and depression are too much for a person to handle, but I find a lot of the time that medications are only temporary stop-gap solutions.
It is easier for a doctor to throw pills at someone than it is to help them get to the underlying problem.
You might consider looking for support groups for the children of alcoholic parents. You may or may not feel like you were necessarily abused or neglected - but it sounds like it has had a lasting effect on you.
It sounds redundant, but exercise is the key to a lot of peoples problems - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Eating healthy is an important factor, but if you exercise consistently, then you can eat pretty much whatever you want (within reason).
Your anxiety, depression, weight gain, and loss of libido are inextricably linked to your physical condition. It is easy to neglect your body - especially if you were raised by parents who neglected you, or made you feel unimportant.
Unfortunately there is no magic solution - sometimes life just sucks.
Again - it sounds trite, but you should remind yourself daily that you deserve to be happy. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Good Luck!
