Where has my sex drive gone?
Loss of libido is one of the most common symptoms of depression. If you have any other symptoms of depression (disturbances in eating or sleeping, lowered energy and mood, pessimistic thoughts) see a psychiatrist or psychologist. Perhaps you are experiencing a condition known as seasonal affective disorder. Due to the decreased exposure to sunlight, many people feel lethargic and even depressed during winter months. Luckily, there are a number of excellent treatments for seasonal affective disorder, including light therapy.
You don't say whether you're now in a relationship or not, but relationship troubles often manifest first in the sexual realm. If you are angry, resentful, anxious, or not satisfied in any way about your relationship or partner, a drop in your sex drive desire would be a very common consequence. Your best course of action here is to speak with your partner and see if there isn't something that can make your relationship better. You might even consider seeing a marital or sex therapist on sex drive desire.
Think back: Did something happen around the time you began to notice your decreased desire? Was this a gradual change or a sudden one? Have you been under unusual stress lately? That might be at the root of it. More likely than not, this situation is temporary. After you've addressed any psychological, relationship or physical causes, sit back, relax, and rest up for spring fever! Better Sex Drive
