And I don't know how to get it back.

I became a mother, whilst unexpected and not wanted initially, it's wonderful. I've honestly never felt a love like it.

But, in all this.... I've become Mama or Mummy and I've lost me.

I took a myers Brigg personality test and even though consistently always had the same.... I'm now different. Again consistently.

I also... I have this strange feeling in terms of my sexuality. I was always sexual. I never had high confidence but felt sexy often. Knew people were attracted to me.

But now, I just can't accept that someone might. I'm utterly convinced they won't. And it isn't a body image thing. My body did something amazing and I love my body for it.

I've even tried shaping up and lost a fair bit of weight. But it's still there. It's mental. Not physical.

Being a mother is so unsexual that I just don't think people find me sexy. But I want them to. I want to find me. I want to find my sexuality. I want to learn who I am again.

I just don't know how.

Being a mother is unsexual? What are you... a dude?

@SW-User I am not a dude, no😂. Just how I feel 🤷‍♂️

@FindingMyselfAgain Someone isn't sexy because of what they do. I can't ever imagine how motherhood would make a woman less sexy.

Sexy is a smile. Sexy is a laugh. Sexy is loving of just just a man but of children too. A teacher is a "mom" for 20 kids and there are plenty of "hot for teacher memes."

MILFs?

I don't understand why you would feel that the act of motherhood diminishes your sexuality. Yes... a shirt with burp juice on it isn't sexy but I've worn the same shirt.

Sorry for the rant but it is just an odd statement to say.

@SW-User Well I've sadly met and spoken with quite a few people who say the same odd statement.
