Struggling with Low Libido and PTSD

Cw: mentions of sex, minors please DNI I know this is an odd thing to share but I'm hoping maybe I'm not alone in this. I've had no interest in sex at all for nearly 5 months now, and no libido bc of my meds. but this week I've been forgetting to take them and i was able to have some intimate time with myself, and i feel very relieved. I was beginning to worry that something was wrong with me. My PTSD heavily affects my interest in sex, and i often get flashbacks during the deed, but I'm really hoping i can heal

I can relate. I struggle greatly with relationships especially intimate ones because of previous trauma. It's still a struggle, but I've made some progress in the last couple months. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but sometimes the tunnel is longer so its harder to see.
