And since I've been sick and in the hospital for the last three weeks, it's been a while. So once we worked that out, I'm now back in my head and thinking clearly and who would ever have imagined that sex would have such magical properties??

Irrational fears is what my doctor called it when I was in one of the biggest anxiety battles of my life. He didn't offer any support, just told me to get more sleep. I had a new baby and a husband who worked 12 hour shifts all night and wasn't home much. I still find that irrational fears crop up. I have to really talk myself through them.
I've read about sex being good for pain management as well, so I can imagine how it would help anxiety in some people.
