Long story short I have never been successful in dating in any shape or form and it’s starting to really affect my everyday life. I have been in therapy for over 7 years (recently quit) to no avail. I am already on antidepressants which thankfully dampens my libido a bit but I now I want it all the way gone.
So anyway, should I tell my family about this? Nothing will really change if I do, but a part of me is telling they ought to know, you know? But I am not sure if I want to.
Edit: I have decided I am not going to tell them.
Personally, at 26 I wouldn’t tell my parents about reversible drugs I’m trying out under doctor supervision to help with mental issues. But at 26 I also wasn’t rushing into chemical therapies against the advice of my psychiatrist. So maybe you need your parents or other trusted person to be a sounding board while you make a decision.
And seems like the same with any large medical decisions, it may be worth getting a second opinion from another doctor.
