I have been wanting to see an SP for a long time but I have severe anxiety which has really been impacting my performance with my spouse in the last 6 months. Even though I am in my early 30s, I am extremely worried about catching the disease that killed my mother a few months ago. I am really confused if I should go ahead and see a provider or just wait for better times.
First SP visit during COVID - Yay or Nay?

I’m pretty sure you’ve answered your own question....
I thought seeing an SP will help me overcome my performance anxiety so that I can atleast satisfy my wife in the short term. I am on anti-depressants and have been going through counseling but none of that has helped.
My condolences for your loss. Take time to grieve and come to terms with all that has occurred.
I am not convinced an sp would make things better. You would most likely feel anxiety over the event and worry about bringing covid home.
I suggest talking to your partner during an intimate setting and put the blame on your anti depressants and how they have been impacting your performance. Perhaps, if given the chance, she might provide some understanding and the feminine warmth you need to bring your sexual drive back.
I honestly feel for you. It’s not going to be a quick fix nor will an SP visit solve your issues. Sit down with your wife, if you haven’t already, tell her how your feeling then go together and get professional counseling. With all due respect to everyone on here this isn’t the best place to seek the type of advice you’re in need of.
Best of luck to you and your wife.....
My Condolences as well. I've gotta agree with the others here.
Seeing an SP will only add to the anxiety surrounding covid. Not only your own health is at stake, if you did catch it as a result of an SP visit you'd very likely pass it on to your family afterward.
The only way an SP might help this situation is if your wife supports the idea. If that's the case a reputable SP who enjoys seeing couples might be fun for you both once the Covid situation eases. Otherwise seeing an SP behind your wife's back if you still have a sex life with her will only add guilt to your anxiety (Trust me here I know of what I speak) In any case involve your wife in the solution, talk to her, and see a therapist together if possible.
Good luck
