How to handle anxiety without meds?
I have been recently been assessed by the HIV prevention about having no risk in my case. How will I address my current situation of having anxiety. I already accept the fact that my case was a none risk, but the fear and worries are there to the point that I don't get normal sleep already. Thanks. Please help.
Really joe, enough is enough. You never came close to a risk of HIV at all - period.
Now you can do one or all of three things.
1, Test for HIV for peace of mind.
2. Seek help from a Psychologist, and this is what YOU should do.
3, Post in the anxiety forum, because this certaintly an issue that you have.
Further posts will get deleted and then this thread, its gone on long enough.

Dude. There's no ****** way you got HIV from a hand job and titty sucking
These past few days, I have been waking up suddenly in the wee hours of the night and I have been sweating where pillows and the bed come in contact with my body. This worries me and then I start to panic about thinking this might be a symptom of HIV. But I don't have any fever and stuff. Thanks.
My first post had my answer, but this thread has gone on long enough now joe. Its time to either accept it or not, but their is no point going over old ground.
I know, you also share the same opinion with my incident?
If you had ANY risk you would have been told, no one plays with your health here.
Thanks, I was already reminded many times by these things but anxiety really has it's way of creeping inside me.
U have to actually stick your penis inside her vagina to have a risk. Her hand doesn't give you HIV I promise u
Do you also believe my incident is really a non risk incident. My fiancé has already forgiven me. But My mind is having difficulty accepting my none risk assessment.
this forum is not here to resolve your guilt, only time can do that. You cheated on your partner but that dose not make a risk, time to get over it and deal with it joe.
Read the message I sent you
What should I do, I only got 2.5 hrs of sleep and my body feels sleepy but my mind is starting to have anxiety attacks. What shall I to now? Please help. Thanks.
Aboslutely not ..... sexually, the only way to transmit HIV sexually is through unprotected vaginal and anal sex .... neither of which you did .... if my oral exposure and your exposure were risks they would be well known and people would be infected all of the time .... science and medical research does not lie .... and what the doctors and experts have stated on HIV prevention and anxiety forums back all that up .... believe me, if I am coming to accept and believe that my oral encounter was not a risk you will do the same .... I really know it is hard .... we can work through it together..... I added you as a friend .... please accept and I am going to private message you too
You took a bigger risk of having your fiancé leave you when u told her a stripper jerked you off than you did having the stripper give you a cold... Your mind is your enemy causing anxiety think of something else. The more u try the easier it will get
Tad780, based on your research on the virus. Do you see no risk also on my previous incident.
You are correct ....
All these bad feelings that I'm having is because of anxiety.
Yes, I do!!!! still think that talking to somebody professional is not a bad thing ... I started and when I did thought it was good to talk and have somebody help me regain rationality..... None of us had a risky encounter but our minds are the ones that need the attention now ....
Guys, you also believe and confident that I will be fine and that I should leave this behind and move on?
I began to see a phsycholgist .... gym, socializing and keeping busy ... I really reminded of the 3 ways HIV is transmitted over and over again .... This forum is a good place for and all of us to be .... Really reread the answers provided to you .... that helps as well .... nobody here is misdirecting you
You guys are really supportive. My fiancé also is supporting me. I feel better when she is around but when I'm during the night I feel alone and start thinking all stuff. Right now I'm sweating but only my head part. It's my mind that is playing things on me.
Your fiancé forgave u. There's no way to catch HIV from handjob and titty sucking. You need to just focus on your new life with your wife. I wouldn't have told her. So that already makes u better person than me :). You will be fine, you will put this behind u
How did you coupe with your anxiety?
Yes, I became anxious over performing oral sex on a man I did not know .... I am slowly seeing that based on everything I am learning that it is not a risk .... I had a real real scare in 2010 when I did engage in unprotect intercourse with a man I thought I could trust ... He turned out to be positive.... I remained negative but everything I have engaged in after that ( no intercourse) has sent me into a total downward spiral of anxiety
