psychoeducation - all necessary to be able to calm your body down. Then I use some psychoanalytic approach to find the origin and maintenance of the anxiety. This treatment is not too long, but very effective.

In a nutshell, it is the same thing. The difference is that some people may only have anxiety about something specific, such as crossing a bridge, or walking by a dog, whereas other people (like you) might have more than one situation that brings you anxiety (therefore, generalized). Anxiety is one of the easiest disorder to treat with a psychologist. Find one that fits what you're looking for and start your process right away.

Most "mental illnesses" are in a continuum - there are mild cases and there are severe cases. A lot of people (50% of the population will at some point suffer from a form of "mental illness" in their lifetime) suffer from depression and after a while (3 to 6 months) the depression goes away. The severe case is when it does not go away, and causes many issues in other parts of their life: such as work, relationship, or even development of psychosis). Other severe mental illness is like what you'd see in people suffering from schizophrenia, or other debilitating illness.

Working with a psychologist is confidential! Unless you want to use health insurance, of course! I suggest my patients pay out of pocket instead of using their insurance if they can, so that will guarantee a wholesome treatment without the fear of outside interferences. It is the best investment you will ever do for yourself. I'm sure it is not easy to live with the symptoms you are presenting.

Hello,
Developing fear of something has to do with your increased awareness of surviving. Oftentimes, a new parent will develop anxiety over surviving, since they need to be there to raise their child. The ONLY treatment for anxiety is therapy. You can take medications to relieve the symptoms, but it will not cure your anxiety. You'll need to engage in psychological treatment for anxiety (it does not take too long!). It's an investment on yourself - for life!

Only assessing her can you know for sure what's happening to her. A sudden increase in libido could be caused by hormonal changes. (Any new medication?) Each person has a particular level of sex energy and should listen to their body when that energy should be released (through sex, masturbation, or exercising). As her partner, you both should have a conversation of how often your sex energy needs a release and how you will both do that.
A question I have for you is: is this an increase of libido or is she now being more comfortable with her sexuality and allowing you to witness her masturbating? Either way, you both could use a psychologist to help you start this conversation and engage in a sex life you both want.
