Of course you have a right to speak up. That's what this forum is for. Your life has not been wasted, but you have much to look forward to that you have not experienced yet. I'm a 46yo male and I've been in a committed relationship for 12 years. It helps immeasurably with battling depression. However, when you've been with someone a long time, sex becomes a very small issue. Companionship is the most important thing, as I'm sure you are aware. It's the thing you want most. It helps with anxiety, too! Having someone to share your life with is a great goal that I hope you will do all that you can to pursue. You have great resources within yourself as you've already demonstrated by making yourself complete a degree and by seeking help for your depression and anxiety. You can overcome the obstacles to finding a relationship, too! It's very hard, I know. I was 34 before I was able to do it. Believe in the wonderful future you can have, and go for it!
Best of luck and best wishes. We will all be cheering for you!
