introduction
hi all. a brief introduction:
*i have been diagnosed with ocd, as well as related mental illnesses (such as anxiety and depression) that stem from this.
*i'm a queer feminist, a vegan, a poet, and many other things. but right now, my main focus is on healing
*i am 21 and will be 22 in february 2006.
my current healing journey:
i have been on paxil for years, as well as naturopathic and homeopathic medications. the side effects of paxil that are most dramatic for me are fatigue and sexual dysfunction. as of two weeks ago, i have begun to reduce my paxil with the help of my amazing naturopathic doctor. the main reasons for doing this are my complete loss of sexual desire, which is a big problem when i am living with my partner and madly in love, and to cleanse my body of a medication that i feel harms more than heals (in my experiences). i'm here mainly for support... and to ask if anyone suffers from, or knows of any good communities related to, sexual dysfunction..? also, is anyone currently coming off medication, or know of any good communities related to this?
