Hello everyone,
I was just wandering if anyone else's sex life has suffered due to anxiety/panic attacks. I once had a full panic attack during sex and somehow managed to carry on! I am torn as to whether its beneficial or not. Sometimes it helps me relax and other times it makes me feel awful! When I am anxious, by the time I get into bed, all I want to do is lie in the recovery position in case anything happens to me in the night! and close my eyes imaging a relaxing scene! My husband has other ideas though! I don't want to deprive him but at the same time, when I am on edge, I feel like socking him one and screeching 'leave me alone!' I do love him and often feel guilty. Another thing that puts me off is that we never have a quickie - it always has to be some marathon session! I think its the hyperventilating that starts me off panicking! Is it just me or do others experience this? I hope I haven't affected anyone sensibilities! but sex is a part of life after all!
