i think i’m on the aroace spectrum and im struggling to come to terms with that. i can’t tell if im aroace or if its a result of being on zoloft for five years.

Does it matter? Even if it is a side effect of Zoloft, aren’t you functionally asexual? If it helps you explain it to others and understand yourself better, call yourself asexual. I identified as sex repulsed ace for a very long time, but realised after going on t, that a lot of the repulsion was dysphoria

Possibly hot take: attraction *Can Be* more fluid than most people are willing to admit. There would be nothing wrong with you using those words to describe yourself if you feel that they accurately describe your present experiences. even if you may have had different experiences in the past and/or if your experience of attraction changes in the future.

I mean I am aroace and went on Zoloft for few years and not anymore and my feelings never changed throughout if that helps

i could kinda see it mattering bc deciding your identity and then finding out it was a chemical side effect would be really disheartening, at least for me
