I’m gonna see her again tonight and conquer this anxiety
So how did you get on?
Although much sensible advice has been given, much of it is harder to follow in practice if there is deep-seated anxiety. At that age one should just think win-some, lose-some, but try not to spend £250 doing so! And enjoy a dirty little secret, don’t worry too much about intellectualising and even reviewing until you are in the swing of things... .
Think of it as holiday time, squander a
little money enjoying oneself as one does on holiday.
If the guy is convinced he has an anxiety problem he might end up taking SSRIs, which cann make it worse, and then probably viagra to compensate. If he’s that stressed, a proven herbal remedy like Ashwagandha is beneficial and also helps with social anxiety.
If there’s no underlying medical problem then I don’t personally think a bluey is outrageous, but as a strengthener for a normal punt, not to fix a problem (and it would be recreational viagra rather than medically advised). Conservatives will probably bemoan otherwise, but I think experimenting carefully when you’re young is usually good for you.
