Anxiety and Depression?!

Anxiety and Depression?

I am a 25 year old male and have never been interested in sex. Could this be due to my anxiety and depression?

I have had anxiety and depression for most of my young life, due to being bullied at school, and I have never gotten over the experience.

After I left school things got worse and there was one stage in my life where I would not leave my home, I was too afraid to in case I ran into the people who bullied me. I was like this for a while until one day I realized that I needed help. So I went with my parents to see the doctors. I am seeing a counsellor for my problems, and I am doing volunteer work to get me out the house.

The things I worry about are, will I ever get over my anxiety and depression? Will I always have no interest in sex because of my anxiety and depression? What kind of woman will go out with a man who is not interested in sex? I know there is supposed to be someone for everyone, but it would take someone very special to go out with someone who is not interested in sex.

Are you taking medication for the depression? If you are that could well be the reason for your loss of libido. Depression in itself can also cause either a huge surge in sex drive or loss of drive.
I know how you feel, I suffered depression a few years back and at the time I could not see any light at the end of the tunnel either. Now after treatments and counselling I feel completely different about myself and my life.
You are taking the right steps, continue with the counselling and make sure you don't keep yourself away from normal social contact. The volunteering is great, I found that helped me a lot too and to this day I am a volunteer with the mental health charity MIND.
Don't get too hung up on the sex issue, it will become self perpetuating if you do. Take time to recover and then take it slowly from there. It wouldn't do any harm to mention this to your counsellor who may be able to put your mind at rest a little more.
Good luck!
