In one success story, a couple had issues due to the man's sexual performance anxiety. They started going on romantic dates more often, just focusing on enjoying each other's company without any sexual pressure. They held hands, kissed, and cuddled. This non - sexual intimacy gradually reduced the man's anxiety. When they finally engaged in sexual activities, he was much more relaxed and the performance anxiety was no longer a problem.
Some people overcome it by seeking professional help. For example, a man went to a sex therapist. The therapist taught him mindfulness techniques to be in the present moment during sexual activities. This helped him let go of the fear of performance. He was able to have better sexual experiences soon after starting the therapy.
One person I know overcame severe anxiety by regular exercise. They started with simple walks in the park every day. The fresh air and physical activity helped distract from their anxious thoughts. Eventually, they joined a running group and as their fitness improved, so did their mental state. Exercise releases endorphins which are natural mood boosters.
Therapy was a big help for many. Cognitive - behavioral therapy (CBT) in particular. It taught people with GAD to recognize their negative thought patterns and change them. For example, if they thought 'everything will go wrong', CBT helped them reframe it to 'things might not go as planned, but I can handle it'.
