First Time - Anxiety Afterwards
Im 22, I struggle with anxiety and depression. I have never had any luck getting things done on my own or feeling comfortable enough with someone to go all the way. I dont know if my lack of arousal is just me or because of my meds.
Last night I lost my virginity. It was incredible, I loved every minute of it. Dont regret it at all. But today I feel...sick. My anxiety is through the roof, I feel nauseous and dizzy. I can think of the moments last night and enjoy it, but I know somewhere in my brain its caused this anxiety and I dont understand it. Help!

It is called post coital tristesse or in lay terms depression or anxiety after sexual intercourse.
It is normally occuring at first sexual contact but it can manifest to late years in life more dor men then for women as years pass...
It is a normal occurance and you can read about it on your own so do not worry about it.
Cherrish the moment and the fact that you avtually enjoyed it and was not traumatic but pleasant and good.
It is nothing out of the ordinary and normal to feel like that afterwards.
I congratulate you for writing about it and wish you all the best. Life goes on now πππ€

Nothing to thank me for, you would have discovered this on your own by research. Remember this: knowledge brigs peace of mindπππ€! As long as you understand what is going on it puts your mind and soul at ease. So just turn it up side down and be happy for it.
