(22M) What to do about dry spell depression? /u/awakening_7600 Sex

I really don’t feel like complaining and being an emotionally distressed mess on here but this is the reality of the situation.

I’m a 22M doing a master’s degree and have recently entered a mild depression from a sexual dry spell.

I met a new FWB 6 days after I moved cross country last August. Great. Looking up. October, she caught feelings and wants to be exclusive, but we really weren’t compatible dating, so I cut things off.

It’s been a dry spell ever since, and it hasn’t been without trying. Going to clubs once even twice a week, swiping to my max limits on multiple dating apps, and have been attempting raw, cold approaches in the gym, in restaurants, and in my university.

Recently, I had 3 women I was really interested in, more than anyone I had met previously, who all did not work out in the matter of a week. I’m in a difficult place and I feel unmotivated to do anything or go anywhere besides the gym and having to show up for class. I can’t go to clubs anymore because the hit I take on my confidence isn’t worth it. My sex drive is in the tank and I’m negative all the time. My own mother asked me today if I was gay despite her having known and met a couple of women i dated in the past. It doesn’t help the fact either that after I ended a serious LTR about 2 years ago, I’ve only met 2 people whom I was ever interested in giving my heart to and they did not feel the same way and am worried this will continue.

What do I do about this?
