Anxiety is making me feel horny and I need help
Hello everyone, M23, this is not click bait or anything like that, I would genuinely appreciate the help from someone who has gone through this!
I've always been a bit of an anxious person. I've never used medication but I would clinch my jaw and put a lot of pressure to the point my head hurt when I found myself in stressful situations. That's the extent of how my anxiety manifested until a week or so ago.
I've been going through some stressful moments in my life and work, and while I was expecting to be anxious, the way I felt now is new. I feel horny. I feel this urge that clouds my vision and makes me think of sexual feelings and emotions non stop. I am, or was, not a sexual person. My libido was never high and my emotions have never gotten the best of me. But now I can spend hours in bed with just feelings of hornyness that I feel like I can't control. It can take a while before I feel I'm back to my senses. The person I am while in that state is not who I usually am and that is making me feel concerned.
Please anyone if you have any tips of how to help with my anxiety or any experiences let me know I really need the help!
