My friends are making me feel like something is wrong w me

NSFWTW: Anxiety / Depression

I’ve been extremely anxious lately and it’s starting to affect me physically too.

One thing that’s been bothering me is that I don’t really have much interest in relationships or sex right now. I’m in my 20s, but honestly I just want to focus on my mental health, travel, and get my life together first.
The problem is that everyone around me seems to talk about relationships and sexual desires like they’re the most important things ever. When I say I don’t really feel the same way, I get weird reactions.
A friend told me that everyone has those desires and they’ll grow with time. Another looked at me like I was abnormal when I said I’m not very sexually inclined.
Maybe they didn’t mean any harm, but it made me feel really judged and alone. Now I keep wondering if there’s something wrong with me or if I’m missing out on life somehow.
and these are the same friends who would use me as a dumping ground for their boyfriend,situationship issues

I don’t know. I just feel exhausted, misunderstood, and tired of feeling like I have to explain myself. I AM SO FREAKING ANXIOUS OVER THIS THAT IM LOSING SLEEP and GOING CRAZY

LAST MONTH I HAD to so a medical procedure that burned a hole in my pocket and i cant visit my therapist because its expensive
