23, never had sex or relationship, sad about it

Posted by PhoenixGirl on February 23, 2001, at 18:12:05

I'm 23 and female, and I have suffered from depression and social phobia since I was 12. The social phobia has subsided some, but ADs have never knocked out the depression.
I've never had sex or had a relationship with a guy, and I feel like I'm missing out on life. Matters are made worse by the fact that I have little sex drive or physical sensation. I used to have more in the first few years of my depression (I was on imipramine), but since then I've gone through a lot of other ADs, and they killed my sexual functioning. Recently I've switched to an AD that is very much like imipramine, but have had only a slight improvement.
Every time I see couples, or sexual things on tv, etcetera, I feel so sad. I don't know what to do. Life is a struggle, not a joy. I can't stop taking ADs because the depression becomes utterly crippling when I try to stop. I hope people here can give me some feedback. Thanks.
