I dont have a sex drive. I understand that I’m constantly in fight or flight every minute of the day…which will cause my issue, I just don’t know where to start with my recovery
I dont know if you’ve done this but get some bloodwork done. I was experiencing the same things you are describing and they found that I was severely hyper thyroid which causes a whole range of anxiety and sexual issues. Worth looking into.
What were your lab results to indicate that?

I had no sex drive, but it was because of a lack of confidence in my erection and performance, leading me to try to avoid opportunities for sex. Now, as I’m more confident, the drive has totally come back.
Completely suppressed TSH at 0.001. Highly elevated T4 and T3 both of which were nearly 3 times the normal amount. All this to say that basically my body was overproducing hormones which literally affects everything. Adrenaline spikes, racing heart, panic attacks and a very hard time relaxing. Its like my body was locked in the fight or flight response every minute of every day. Im 6 weeks into treatment now which is early, but Im already feeling calmer and less mind racing.
