Trauma and libido

Over the last 7 years I've been through quite a bit.

*cancer scare
*termination of pregnancy (medical reasons)
*death of my childhood dog
*daughters onset of nocturnal seizures
*daughters disabilities and health issues
*covid lockdowns (like everyone else!)
*illness due to copper coil perforation
*witnessing my grandmother starving to death in carehome.
*nephew dying of SIDS
*family member hanging themselves

As a result I had months of absolutely debilitating panic attacks, constant all day everyday for about 5 months.
I never fully recovered.
My libido has seemingly gone along with mental state.
I do sometimes get the odd day where I feel I want it more but I don't even look at men on the telly and find them attractive these day. I miss it. I miss that spark and desire.
I've gone Asexual all of a sudden.
I was on sertraline that made my libido go through the roof, so I suppose maybe I should Go back on them.

Can anyone else relate?
