I am 37 yo female. I haven’t been in a relationship or had sex since I had my daughter. Just over 6 years ago. Last time was with my ex. But we broke up while I was pregnant. My daughter was C section. No issues physically.. But just cannot get myself mentally and emotionally out there. Relationships are hard to create or I just suck at it. But when sex comes into the discussion I withdraw. Don’t feel comfortable having sex with someone causally. I had some traumatic or just negative experiences before .. I like connection and emotional intimacy and a sense of safety feeling before sleeping with someone .. otherwise I am really not managing it well mentally . But you can’t really create a relationship without becoming sexual. I am just crippled with anxieties. And was dealing with depression after my daughter.. now I feel like more time passes the harder it will be for me to become intimate with someone .. and have a relationship.
Anyone with similar experience..?
