Hi All,
I have started getting episodes of the above. I am 29 years old, and whilst not the most confident person in the world, I have never had an issue really. Whilst being 'nervous' I would get the job done, so to speak!!
The whole thing started in December with a condom related incident. Basically, me being a little nervous already, my girlfriend had trouble getting the condom on me, which made me paranoid, and then of course...droop!
This absolutely killed my self confidence! Finally plucked up the courage to 'do it again' around March this year and everything was fine! But again, since then the doubt has crept in (despite being fine last time) and has led to anxiety symtoms and even depression (currently on 10mg Citalopram)
I am attending CBT, but to be honest not sure if that will help as my anxiety is quite specific, so I was wondering if any of you wonderful people could give me some helpful advice?
Cheers
Edit - Should add my girlfriend is very supportive in all of this, and is in no way adding any pressure!!
