How do I overcome this?
I am married, and an adult...I deal with Panic disorder and anxiety... I have a low sex drive, and as a woman, there isnt much help out there. I love my husband very much, and I want to overcome this, so any help would be great. Its not that I get anxious about it, or anything along those lines, I am just very rarely in the mood, and can go months at a time without thinking about it.

Dear Mrs. Panic,
It's not easy to admit when a condition has become part of your life so I applaud you on that. What you really need to face is what causes the condition to come out from you and face that. Also take into account that when you love someone especially in this case, your husband, it is a happy and joyous time in your life that needs to be celebrated. One good thing I know is that setting the mood usually is starting with doing something that makes you happy. For example, if you're hungry and in the mood for something sweet, you could use it in a seductive manner to justify the mood. Usually when it's something you already like can be an ignition to start something passionate. Try it and see how it works.

First of all, I sympathize with you. You don't say if you are on meds for your panic disorder and anxiety or not. You also don't mention what other meds you are on.....but, as I am sure you are aware, some meds can contribute to a low sex drive. The first thing I think you might do is talk to your doctor. He/she knows what meds you are on and if they play a part in all of this. If your doctor rules that out...you might want to discuss what help is there for you. Ask about therapy/counseling....ask about meds....
I just think that your physician is your first resource in all of this. Good luck.
