Where has my sex drive gone?

I'm just 40 and my sex drive seems to have vanished into thin air.

It used to be really quite high.
Confounding factors: I've been depressed, put on weight, ended a relationship, had a baby who is nearing 2, am on meds.

But seriously, is this it? Am I just never going to want it again? I madly miss affection and cuddles, but really can't be arsed with the idea of sex even if it were on offer (it's not, but I could look for it if I wanted).

Has anyone lost it then regained it?

Take a look at the meds. Young kids also drain the life out of you.

You've have had quite a bit going on there @ClemFandango1. I'm sure things will improve when you are more settled. I have lost and then regained my sex drive for long periods, a few times.
Over the past year it's been off the scale (so much so, that I notice if it fades just for 1 day!)
I'm sure you will be back raring to go,who knows when, but it will come back.

I'd be fairly certain you'll regain It. With all of the things you mention, I'm not surprised that It's a real problem at the moment. Medication likely the culprit, and the other factors, having a big contribution. Good luck in getting It back, summertime is always a great time to indulge.

It comes back and often mine is dormant if there isn't a partner around to spark it!
