Seek counseling: It sounds like you have been through a lot in the past year. You mentioned anxiety/depression, i'm not sure if you are taking an antidepressant medication. If you are many of them can decrease libido (sex drive). I refer patients that have post abortion depression to local counseling services. See if there is any postabortion counseling services in your area.

Complex problem: There are certainly medical and emotional adjustments after this. Are your periods normal now? Are you on birth control? Do you have any symptoms of depression? Do you have any other health problems? Consider an appointment with your female health provider for a general check up and maybe one with a mental health professional.
