Totally lost my ability to self care

I'm almost 47, with two small children, work, volunteer and just feel exhausted all the time.
live rurally, so more often than not wear functional clothes.
I'm not overweight but I definitely don't look after myself and it is really getting me down.
I've totally lost my sex drive/va va voom: I just don't feel desirable or attractive at all.
I go through fits and starts of trying to make an effort - get my hair done, update my makeup but that's about it. My day to day life just isn't one to make me feel focused on me/looks/sensual feelings etc.
I've started using vagifem but it doesn't seem to have had any dramatic impact on my sex drive. Is this it?!
I look back sadly to my twenties and miss feeling and looking good (feeling sexy). It's just not possible with day to day functional life!

Have you considered that you might be peri menopausal? That can impact on libido and general energy levels. Might be worth having a chat to your GP.
