I genuinely need some advice or help (BPD/Bipolar/Depression)
To give some context:
I'm in a 3 (almost 4) year relationship (22M, 21F). ^((my first ever relationship))
My partner has Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, and I believe Insomnia too (maybe some other things too, but these are the ones I can think of), she's medicated, takes around 10 pills daily, so her symptoms aren't as strong and she can manage daily life.
To be clear, I've known this since the beginning, I have no problem with this, I accept and love everything about her.
When we met, she was seeing a psychologist regularly, but she said it didn't help at all, so she stopped. Me and her mother and I advised against this, but it was her choice after all. (I still nag her about it, but she brushes me off, and I know it's not my decision, so I drop it)
My main reason for writing this post:
It's been hard, but we manage. I try to swallow everything and try to just let things go when her mood changes (for better or worse).
Throughout the relationship, I've noticed she's not a romantic person, can't really express love, and isn't really an affectionate person.
One of her medications is sertraline (antidepressant), which has a side effect of killing libido. This hasn't been a problem for most of the relationship, but we've both noticed that since December, things have changed. She doesn't get in the mood anymore, maybe only once or twice a month, and it isn't satisfying for her, which really bothers her and me too.
I've read online that people who experience this side effect can be permanently damaged by the medication and never get their mood and emotions back, so that's why I'm asking for advice, stories with people who experienced similar phases in their relationship, or even solutions that worked for couples.
I suggested going back to the psychologist, getting therapy, and maybe consulting with the psychiatrist about the medication, or even talking to some friends about it, since I know it's not the same as talking to her parents or me, but that hasn't happened yet.
