This is likely also connected to my C-PTSD somehow. I recently was divorced and living alone is taking a toll on me. Usually my sex drive is very low, and I do not desire to sleep with other random people (we're all adults here, right?)
My sex drive is practically non exsitant. I know its the fibromyalgia with me. My husband is a Saint living with me lol. I haven't been to the doctors because I don't see what they can do about it. I know you can buy capsules and gummies for your libido. Xxx
My advice would be first to relax, Everyone man and woman at some time in life have no desire for intimate connections.
This is perfectly normal. Our hormones play a huge roll in that department.
Please be gentle with yourself, What you are experiencing is incredibly common and a direct, biological side effect of what your body is fighting every single day.
If we over think something then that something becomes a huge problem and when it becomes a problem we stress about it. When we stress we start a vicious circle. Of feeling nothing panic sets in and the sexual desire goes down. My advice is don't think of it. (If you can) This is no longer a problem, it does not worry you. What will be will be.
Don't wait for things to change. Then a little down the road after breaking the cycle soon enough you will feel those little feelings coming back.
You know what they say, it may be an old English saying. 'A watched pot never boils'
Also there are some wonderful books on tantric sex. Maybe that would be an option for when the cycle is breaking.

Definitely can be a symptom of both. Perhaps try focusing on some deep relaxation beforehand. π
