I got my first hypnotherapy appointment tomorrow so I'm pumped! I really hope this works because pills have done nothing for me so far. It's a 3-hr …

About Me
I'm 25 and for the past 10 years I've been suffering from anxiety attacks. Lately, I've been having serious performance anxiety issues, both at my job and unfortunately, in the bedroom. I've tried medication (Lexapro, Zoloft, Ativan), but when most of these have sexual side effects, they are doing more harm for me than good. I recently broke up with girlfriend of 1 year over this and I am worried that this is going to keep happening to me in future relationships. I joined this group in hopes of meeting similar people.
Interests
I love my Cleveland sports teams, especially Browns football! (Unfortunately, we are terrible this year) Also like to travel and workout.

Hug
Hi. Well, I guess I was hoping hypnosis would be the miracle you and i need. I'm going to do it next week, but what I had in mind was some type of "deep trance" thing that would alter my subconcious and take away all my anxiety. I have had this off and on since I was 23. My wife does support me, but it gets frustrating for her, I'm sure. Like you say, i worry about pleasing her. This is the worst bout I've had. In the past it just kind of went away, i guess, but its not this time. However, in the past it took me 5 or six months to get out of it, so i can't give up. You can't either. You will beat this and do well. Take care.

I’m With You
I can really identify with your situation. I'm older and married, but there is no less pressure, at least I don't feel like it. I don't feel like a true person sometimes. I am going to do hyponotherapy next week with my regular psych Dr in hopes of reducing the automatic panic. Let me know how it worked for you.
Hug
I understand and I'm here for you if you need someone to talk to.
Hug
anytime my pleasure!! good luck with the hypnosis. :) hugs and smiles
Hug
Just wanted to be the first to send a hug your way. I too suffer from anxiety - it can be a rough road. My suggestion is to keep trying meds until you find one that works for you in every way. I like my Effexor right now, but I do notice the lack of libido side effect. I wish you luck.

Close Anxiety
For the past 10 years, I've suffering from performance anxiety. Lately, it's been less performance anxiety at my job than my sexual performance anxiety. I keep thinking to myself, "shouldn't sex be fun," but I worry too much about pleasing my partner. My girlfriend of 1-yr broke up with me yesterday (12/16/06) over this and I am very worried that this will continue throughout the rest of my life. Hopefully, there are other people out there like me so I can get some great advice!
Treatments
- Lexapro Not Working
- BAD sexual side effects! Also, it really didn't help with my overall anxiety.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- I've been on this the 7 months and I'm not really sure that it's had a positive effect on me. Still having anxiety attacks.
- Cialis Somewhat Helpful
- Tried this to help with my performance anxiety. It helped for a while until the anxiety was just too much to handle. Now I feel like I'm out of alternatives.
Close ADHD / ADD
25-year-old male recently diagnosted with ADHD. Currently taking Wellbutrin (not working yet).
Treatments
- Wellbutrin Not Working
