There wasn't a conversation. There wasn't a moment where someone sat me down and said, by the way, this part of your life is about to quietly disappear. It just... did. Me and my husband have been together 28 years and I genuinely cannot pinpoint when things shifted but at some point I started dreading something I used to want. The dryness is part of it but it's also something harder to name. A kind of disconnection. Like my body stopped being mine in that way. I've got a GP appointment next week and I've been writing things down beforehand because I know I'll go blank the second I sit in that chair. Things like: pain, discomfort, not wanting to be touched, UTI feelings that aren't UTIs. It took me three attempts to write the list because I kept deleting it like someone was going to read my phone. I don't know what I'm hoping for. Maybe just that she doesn't look at me like it's all in my head. I'm 58, not ancient, and I'd quite like to feel like myself again. Has anyone actually talked to their GP about this stuff and been heard? x
