I think that a lot of my depression, anxiety and addiction to debt/shopping has more to do with this condition then the doctors realize. I try everything for my mental health and my vagina is more of a problem then I ever imagined. I feel a little hopeful that I can get this (and more) problem resolved.
I wish my GYN’s and therapists had told me that vaginismus was an actual thing. For 46 years I have been suffering and I was beginning to think I was too old and I was going to die before I could have pain free sex or even less pain for a pap smear.
