Feeling suicidal due to child birth

I gave birth 4 years ago and have never enjoyed sex again. I didn’t even know this was possible, I also have chronic pain since. I was only 26 when I got pregnant, I cant believe my sex life is over in my 20’s.

I just found out I have muscle avulsion and there is nothing any can do about it. So I am never going to have an orgasm again. Why don’t people tell you this before you give birth?

Now I just don’t see the point in my life
