Anxiety after pleasure?

ok...so this might be a bit "personal" or not accepted to ask or talk about, so I apologize if I offend...but does anyone have issues with "pleasure" causing anxiety? like the release of the feel good hormones rather than relaxing you..making you feel anxious? whether you do it yourself or with your partner? I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this. it's not anxiety around the act but rather just how after you do it how you feel. sorry if that's TMI!

Yes, this happens to me almost every time after I've done that. I get super anxious and my body just feels terrible, it usually lasts 20 to 30 min then it slowly goes away.

oh wow that's rough. Yeah it just takes away from the enjoyment for sure. It's so dumb because I didn't used to have this issue, but my anxiety stems from a incident with sugar when I was prediabetic and spiraled me into it bleeding into every aspect of my life. It's unfortunate..and I really hope that one day I'll overcome it and be alright...but for now all I can do is talk myself through the anxiety and know that I am safe and ok and it's just anxiety 🤷🏽‍♀️

I think I do kinda understand what you mean, it's definitely something I think I struggle with, but like you mentioned it's sooo difficult to open up about., ty for having the courage to at least try 🙂

yeah I'm a very open person, but I know not everyone is like that so I just wanted to see if anyone would open up with me and maybe has gone through this as well.

I haven't like afterwards but I actually once had it happen during to the point we had to stop.
