I completely understand where you're coming from, as another twentysomething female!
I don't know when my prolactinoma formed / became active, but sometime in the 2 years I took birth control, I started losing my libido. This is sometimes a side effect of the pill, so even when I started to feel sluggish, depressed and discouraged more often, more forgetful, and a little more irritable, I just figured it was all part & parcel. Of course, that made me want off of the pill, and once off, my prolactinoma was discovered. My prolactin levels dropped after taking my meds; it really felt like a fog had lifted. Mentally, I just felt more present, and not nearly as irritable. And I felt like writing poetry again!
However, that's neither here nor there. Maybe your social habits and attitude towards sex may be less hormonal and just, well, part of your personality. I don't like "going out" with people in the sense of going to bars and such; the very thought of that just bores the hell out of me. I like staying in on my own alot of times, and when I get together with friends, we tend to stay in and watch movies, play games, etc. I felt really boring too, until I realized that it's just what I like to do, and if others don't like it, screw them.
I also used to be utterly uninterested in sex until I met the right guy. The world makes you feel like you're a frigid old biddy if you're young and NOT interested in jumping every attractive person in sight - and that's just wrong. Some of us are just different. Forcing yourself to be a "normal twentysomething" will probably disappoint you more than doing what you enjoy.
My best advice is to hang in there. The de-stressing should help (even when my prolactin was high, relaxing helped my mood / libido immensely). Any other advice I would give would sound too much like a pep talk about loving who you are and being comfortable with it (blah blah blah), so I'll leave it at that and send you my best wishes and hope that you find a therapy that works for you! ^_^ |
