Dear Dina:

Good to “hear” from you again. i was hoping you will be back. The name Zoloft jumps out from the screen, a very common side effect of Zoloft is loss of sex drive.

Then anxiety will do it too, fear looking for a reason to be, searching for a thought to attach itself to. First there is the fear, from long ago, and it goes around and around the brain. The problem solving part of the brain is trying to resolve the fear, to put it to rest by asking itself: what is causing this fear? Maybe there is a problem here.. maybe there.

So yes, I struggled with OCD for decades and your overthinking regarding sex with your boyfriend sounds to me very much like OCD type thinking. And OCD is all about anxiety, from which you suffer.
