My anxiety just won’t stop.

So you know how I mentioned earlier that I have an intense fear of becoming pregnant? Well... normally that fear would go away when someone gets their period right? Well not for me. Regardless of getting my period and not having sex, I still find myself worrying about being pregnant. It’s very hard....

hi be assured that if your not doing the business then you wont be getting pregnant wouldn't know myself mind you how it effects you being a guy hopefully someone can relate.

Do you know what it is about possibly being pregnant that scares you so much? Can you talk to a therapist about your fear? They might be able to help you get to the root cause of your fear so that you can work on this. I'm sorry that you're not able to have a rest from these thoughts at the moment. I hope this gets easier for you soon.

Thank you. I have talked to my therapist and about this and she’s been helpful but it’s just gonna take time for me to get over it I giess

I had that same thought since I was little (like 8 or 10) I didnt even know how you got pregnant I would just feel little flutters and think OMG IM PREGNANT, how did it happen, what did I do? For me I just kind of thought ok I'm not pregnant but saying it out loud so I can hear myself. If i am, what's the worst that can happen?

And literally write it down and read it again out loud and something about it felt silly and then my mind would kinda rationalize and be like duh I'm not pregnant. Try it and maybe it can help you?

Yea that’s what I’ve been doing. Especially since I’m not sexually active and I get my periods regularly. It’s just a very irrational fear because it’s not very accepted in my community
