ways to increase libido?

My school/job is extremely high stress (xray) and since i started my libido went down the drain. weed isn't an option as it isn't legal here & i get drug tested regularly. can't afford the proper diet to workout (though i do want to at least do something in the morning) and dont have much time in the day either.

is there anything i can do? meditate? supplements? my partner's libido is higher than mine and i feel guilty. why don't i want sex anymore?

Diet- there's gotta be something affordable. Cheapest protein is bean and eggs. Maybe frozen for veggies like broccoli. PS if you could afford weed if it were legal you could afford food. If you could afford supplements you could afford vegetables. And if you're mad poor, who knows maybe even a food shelf, resources exist to help.

Exercise can help, walking is the cheapest, just need some pavement or paths to walk on. Maybe can double up listening to podcasts or other stuff that help work and school.

Relaxing- even with busy, blocking off some time to just unwind and stare into space, mediate, relax, take a hot bath or whatever can reduce some of the stress. Stress is cortisol. Cortisol kills boners and libido.

i eat eggs way more than i should but that still isn't good enough. i am trying to make more money though- and if weed were legal i'd just use some of my bf's or hit off of his cart

Once this stressful time is over, there's a really strong chance your libido will come back. Trick is to create little shelters for yourself from the storm as much as you can. And even if it's not literally libido, I recommend cuddles and massages with the gf to keep a touch connection going.

Wife has started watching porn. It gets her in the mood really quickly and has in general increased her libido quite well.

Reduce your stress with things like Mindfulness and deep breathing. Meditation in a hot sauna. Working out helps a lot.

Dieting is often cheaper than not dieting. Dieting only gets expensive when you go for fad bullshit.

You can easily workout without equipment too. I do suggest getting a workout mat at least though. I suggest looking up proper forms for exercises to avoid injury.

Try adding a 5-15 minute walk outside it's a small thing but it can help with stress which seems to be the route of your problems. I do hope things get better and you can be in a less stress filled environment.
