...See more although i know this is a uncomfortable topic to talk about, i feel the need to tell someone about it and get advice on how to find help. over the past few weeks, i’ve noticed that my anxiety has gotten worse. i’m losing my appetite, my heart drops a lot more now, and i kinda just feel on edge. and i think this started to get bad a few weeks ago when i experienced performance anxiety in bed, and i started to feel nauseous and get inside my own head. i’ve always had a little bit of performance anxiety, but it now feels like it’s taking control of my life and my relationship. the weird thing is that there have been countless times where i’ve experienced no anxiety and do just fine. but when i do experience anxiety with her, her reaction almost feels disappointing and sad that im not able to perform. and this reaction is leading me to believe that “if next time you don’t perform good, she will break up with you”. all of this anxiety has led me to even feel nauseous just laying with her, or even when we go out to eat it gets a lot worse. i cannot eat anything and i feel sick. i hate feeling like this and i hate being anxious around her because i love her so much and i love being intimate with her and i really want a future with her but im scared that these feelings will haunt me forever. i’ve started thinking about therapy or taking meds but i don’t even know where to start.
