Post coital depression

February 8th, 2016

Has anyone else experienced this before because this happened a few months ago so I wanted to ask about it on here. Im recovering from my anxiety and depression at the moment so should have something to do with that but not so sure.

@SherryCherry15 - I'm not personally familiar with it, but that doesn't mean that it's not real. If you want to talk about it, feel free to reach out to me or another listener. Be well, lovely

@Sherrycherry15 Awww I have experienced this from making out definitely. Why do you think you feel that way?

@Sherrycherry15 For me, it was a sign mainly of lack of emotional intimacy with a partner, and also the anxiety and shame I felt about those things and insecurity around asserting my own preferences. Now, that I feel a little more confident, I think I could do something like specifically request a deep conservation 20 minutes before and 20 minutes after or something. I think it was also a sign of emotional abuse and neglect from the partner, especially men, so I also experienced being objectified. I wanted someone who was really enthusiastic about what I had to say and what I felt, and settled for something less. I felt these men say me as a "pretty little thing" and nothing more, and yet I engaged with them regardless when I should maybe have had higher standards. I also sometimes tried to use making out when I felt lonely and probably should have called a hotline or a close friend instead.
