Mental Moods and No Libido

Don't knonw if this is the right place but thought I'd try.

I had my first child nearly 5 years ago. Since she was about 3 months old have have had absolutely no libido whatsoever. I used to really enjoy sex and was fairly open and uninhibited with my husband. But for the last 5 years, nothing. I want to want to have sex, but I just don't. My poor poor husband who I love deeply, has been very understanding but at some point things have to change. I can't see us being like this forever. I like to be naked next to him and feel him next to me, but really don't like the thought of anything happening. I even find kissing too sexual.

I also have really bad mood swings. I was always pretty level headed but now, I can just snap - especially, sadly, with my kids. I love them, but seem to have no patience with them.

I'm just wondering if anyone else is/has been like this and what I can do.

Could it be a hormone imbalance? Or am I just a freak and I'll have to live with being psychotic and loveless?????

It might be worth getting a blood test - I've recently been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. Low libido and irritability are 2 of the symptoms. Things have definitely improved since I started the medication. Not saying this is what you have, but it might be worth checking out and a blood test might pick up something else if not.
