Today, my mother was trying to have yet another "helpful" conversation about how to fix my anxiety. My sister's insightful comment? "I think your problem is that you need to get laid." My mom agreed with her. FML

Today, my mom tried to give me advice on how to improve my looks. I scoffed at her but listened to her advice anyway. She ended her tirade with, "I just want you to get laid someday." FML

Today my mother, who was once shocked to realise that my older sister was having unmarried sex, told me to go and 'get some' because it's good for my health. I'm asexual. FML

Today, my high-strung and normally very proper mother took twice her prescribed dose of Ambien, and extolled the virtues of a "full blown sexual relationship with oneself", advising my teenage sister to "only include the men when they behave." FML

Scapegoat

Today, my mum's response to my psycho sister being angry and threatening my partner, was that I should make her angry at me since she needs someone to hate, and I'm the default, so I handle it better anyway. This was after I asked her to get my sister professional help, and she denied the need. FML

Today, my wife and I are having marital/intimacy issues. My 72 year-old mom basically told me to touch my wife, to hug her more, caress her lovingly, and pat her bottom, etc. Thanks mom, I'll grab her ass, that'll make it all better. FML

Today, I got a lecture from my mother about how bad my stress has been, how I have to treat myself better and do something with my life. She still doesn't realize that most of the cause of my stress has been from her berating me about how stressed out I am. FML

Anxiety disorders are a mental health issue. Not something one somehow solves with sex (or alcohol, or drugs). Try to get your family to read on the topic and get medical help OP. :)

Not sure about sex but companionship will definitely help reduce anxiety issues

Sex is known to relieve stress though! However, it won't fix nor completely alleviate your anxiety, you need to talk to a doctor about possible treatments OP. Home remedies won't work for that.

As someone with anxiety that's had to stop right in the middle of sex because of an anxiety attack (sometimes BECAUSE of sex*), you can tell your mom and sister from me that that's bullshit. *Before you say anything insensitive, no, I haven't ever been raped/sexually abused, and I don't have any bizarre phobias.

Anxiety sucks. OP's sister and mother clearly have no idea what it's like to be anxious. I have relationship based OCD, I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
