Anti depressants

I’ve been taking sertraline for around 3 to 4 months. Since taking them I feel like I’ve completely lost my sex drive. I really don’t know what to do. Has anyone else had the same? How did you fix it?

Hey lovely, unfortunately low libido is one of the most common symptoms of sertraline. It’s due to an increase in in serotonin which can suppress your sexual drive. Its worth speaking to your GP, amending the dose depending or looking at swapping anti depressants x

I was on the lowest dose and still had a really low libido and basically no sex drive, I’m not sure if lowering it will make a difference but mention it to your gp as there could be another brand to try. Unfortunately it is one of the side effects

the 2026 version of “sisterhood”

i know the whole point of this app is to “connect” but does anyone else feel a tad bit performative while trying to meet people. personally, meeting people has never been the issue but it seems the depth of it all is missing. i’m freshly 26 now so i’ve gone through the high school and college version of making friends, comparing it to now oh my god i miss the days of just kicking it, random adventures, food for thought that isn’t bs social media entertainment.

I fear that most people i run into doesn’t actually want a real friend just someone “pretty” enough to attend popular nightlife events, post for instagram and more performative crap to that doesn’t bring us closer at all. The hyper-fixation on aesthetics is ruining everything 😭 It’s weird… because i have participated in that version of girlhood all my life but it still felt like offline we were even closer. Nowadays you’d think you and a person are besties on socials but it never corresponds to actual connection.

Lastly, idk if this is a recession indicator but since when did every single thing become a production. If we didn’t go to a 5 star outing apparently it wasn’t a good time ? If we’re not pandering to men to fund our night, it was a lame night ? everything is spend spend spend and the “actual fun” be so staleeee. Maybe i need a change of environment… where are the down to earth people 🫩

Working from home with baby or a toddler

I keep hearing and reading about people working from home while looking after a baby or toddler.
No judgement, I’m just genuinely curious about how you manage this?!
What type of jobs do you have? And do your work place know you do it?
Also what is your reason for doing so, not wanting child in nursery or not being able to afford to?
I work from home, in a finance role and couldn’t imagine to be able to do both.

Anyone relate?

Been feeling really lonely and depressed lately. Moved hours away from home with my new partner and my kids. I have no friends or family. I have no hobbies. My kids are 4, 3, and 2. My partner has recently been more detached. He wasn't very emotional before but now its even less. I feel he is caring less and less for me weekly. I just feel so alone. I cant shake this feeling that we wont be together when our baby is born. I just cant go through another relationship where im seen as an issue when all im doing is sharing how things have changed and it hurts my feelings and looking for validation. I feel at this point there is no person for me. I will forever pick bad seeds.
