It's not created to prevent us from having kids, sweetie, don't go to that negative thought.
If ANYTHING, it HELPS us to not repeat those same patterns over and over and hurting ourselves more than we're healing, okay?!?
LET the meds be okay, let them do for you what they can. Try not to place negative connotations on them because that will lead to you feeling like you should get off them because "the establishment is controlling you". Chemicals don't control you or create feelings, people do.
Use the meds to help you. Use them to free your mind to find other ways to create bonds of affection. That's what it is we've been searching for, Alex. We didn't get that from our parents like we should have.
I know it sounds like I'm lecturing- and maybe this time I am. I KNOW that EfexxorXR allowed me to make rational choices that had nothing to do with the "feel good chemicals" that sex produces. Those chemicals lulled me into a false sense of security and feeling of "being loved" many many many times that ended in me getting hurt before I started taking EfexxorXR.
And I'm not taking it any more simply because I don't need it right now. But I will take it again when I need it again (I am a notoriously long cycler).
Lecturing with love,
