New to this, 30 years old on anxiety medication

🍆 Erection issues
1

Hey everyone, I am a 30 year old man who exercises vigorously 4-5 times per week, eats a pretty clean diet, and gets lots of sleep every night.

However, I struggle with pretty bad anxiety, and take anti anxiety medication. I think that it has killed my libido and ability to get an erection.

Before you all start telling me not to take the anxiety medication: that is NOT an option. I tried not taking it last year, and I was having sexual dysfunction because of how bad my anxiety is: damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Right now I’m struggling with ED, I experienced it once last year with a woman I was seeing, and I am getting back into the dating scene now. My biggest concern is that I will not be able to perform due to the effect of my medication, and due to getting stuck in my own head and anxiety.

I am wondering if anybody here has been in a similar situation to mine, and if you have found any techniques that have helped you overcome psychological ED.

Thank you

I am in a similar situation to you. I have not taken any meds but my anxiety our performance has been a major issue and something I am trying to fix. I am meeting with a therapist in the coming days and hoping she has some advice on how to tackle this

I am in the exact same situation my friend. I find a huge contributor to my libido. Is my mental health. Don’t force anything if you aren’t feeling it be open and make mental health your main priority.

I found the box breathing has helped if i use it alongside visualising fantasies , i used this last night when I felt the anxiety creeping in , i have a very understanding partner which helps enormously, ive also brushed up on all my other techniques,oral etc so im confident of a back up when i need a moment to reset
