Met a 22 yo in a group I am involved in, she asked if I wanted a lift to a meeting, there and back. I don't know her very well but she's young a lot younger than me by 10years.
So talking on the way back she mentions antidepressants, I too take anti depressants, the conversation moves towards SSRIs and sex. I panic because that shit makes me supper uncomfortable, she said some stuff that was a blatant hint. Anyway me and her have activity later in the week for the group we're in, she's invited me out for a drink after and being friendly and uncomfortable I said yea sure.
How best to proceed? I don't want things to be weird and our group get weird as a result. I wish I could set boundaries.
Worth mentioning I have crazy anxiety so don't judge too hard I mostly run on auto pilot in those situations.
Please feel free to tell me you don't feel comfortable discussing the subject, since you already mentioned it makes you super uncomfortable and I apologize because I don't mean to do that, or maybe someone else can answer it but what's the connection there between SSRIs and sex?
I've never been on antidepressants or SSRIs so I have no idea. Does it amplify the experience or something?
SSRIs have been known to decrease libido in some, sometimes severely, even after discontinuing the medication
Thanks! That's what I expected but makes the interaction make less sense to me.
