Anxiety While Practicing Retention

Hi. I’m somewhat new to the semen retention thing. It’s been about 9 days since I began this journey. It’s been going okay, nothing to major. But my anxiety has shot up (significantly) since I began practicing. There are times when I can’t even look at people I the eyes or even talk to them. Every time I go out, I get super anxious. I don’t talk, I’m in such a hurry, and it’s starting to scare me. I’ve brought it up with my therapist, she suggested exercise and meditation. Which I’ve been been doing (30 min walk, 3x 5 minute meditation a day) but I still feel super anxious. Has anyone experienced this before??

 

Thanks man, I appreciate your comment. I’m definitely going to keep going. I feel good, it’s just my social anxiety has definitely been straining on me. I’ve been doing breathe work when I feel panicky in public, which helps a lot. And you are right, I need to do some more intense workouts, but I’m trying to get there lol (I’m not shape).
