Show 152 - Lust in the Dust with Anxiety

Having libido issues while having anxiety attacks or symptoms is complicated. But before we can talk about lack of or too much libido and what that means to us as anxious people we must first admit that we want to metaphorically gnaw on some bone.

For those of you from certain faith based tradition that believe that sex is for reproduction only and lust is a sin and you just want to know how to stop having spasms in your arm, not about sex stuff.

I understand but for the next two episodes I am talking psychology and body chemistry kind of libido and lust. You might want to look into the show’s archive for what you are looking for treatment options.
