The fact that you were previousely enjoyimg the penetrative sex without any problem proves that there is no anatomical of functional problem with your vagina.
Now even after you are sexually aroused, you find the insertion is difficult and painful due to the dryness (that is what you think) could be not because of the dryness but soreness. Such soreness comes due to some sort of infections of vagina. The most common is fungal infection, or the other is trichomonal infection. Even bacterial infections also can cause these symptoms.
Please get checked from a gynaecologist and get properly treated. Do not worry, there does not seem to be any 'HUGE Problem' with your vagina. It can be easily tackled.

Hello
It could be due to anxiety so take SSRI like paroxetine for some time. Use water based jelly for sex.
