That is not what it refers to.
I guess I'm a bit confused-could you maybe clarify what you meant?
Libido is a normal aspect of human sexuality.
Ah, gotcha. It's totally normal to feel uneasy about diving into those kinds of conversations. On one hand, I'm a bit nervous that the medication might tweak who I am-like, will I suddenly be spouting poetry or wearing bow ties all day? But on the other hand, it's probably just my worry-fest braiin running wild again.
Hey, I get where you're coming from-it's definitely a tricky situation, but let's not overthink it too much, okay? Based on wat you've shared and how you're feeling about it-I'm guessing you might be dealing with some anxiety, maybe eveen a bit of paranoia and frustration.
It's hard to say more without knowing the exact diagnosis or meds you're on, but sometimes just acknowledging where things stand can help a lot.
The big question is, what's your plan for handling all this?
And hey, it absolutely can be managed-trust me on that.
Libido isn't just about sex.
Everyone thinks it is.
Jung says it's all your energy.
Not just romance like Freud claimed.
k thx gonna remember that lol
