What's more likely to kill libido, small amounts of sugar or anxiety?

Oh my gosh Riku seriously??
Sugar in normal quantities does not impact libido (in-fact low to no carb diets might adversely affect libido) whereas anxiety is a sure fire why to make sure you can't get it up...

Because you've already assumed that eating the sugars will lower your libido.
Libido is massively linked to your psychological state of mind so if you think something will make you "less horny", then you go do it, you WILL feel less horny because you already expect to feel less horny.

You must be joking, surely? 
I've never heard of anything like this before. State of mind is 10x more important when it comes to libido.

But sugar causes rise in oestrogen :/
and I'm not having small amounts of sugar. It's Christmas and my birthday, I effectively can't say no to cake.
I swear I'm not joking. I don't find this funny.

Well I don't understand why I can't get it up…it's quite embarrassing. I'm pretty skinny so makes no sense. I would say perhaps my bf% is high but then we're opening a can of worms.

How do I stop worrying about having erectile dysfunction when I'm surrounded by lads talking about their 'conquests' (which I find disgusting and pretty trite incidentally)
How am I supposed not to worry when my younger sister has a child before me?

1) Ignore it
What does that has?
I ate 4 chocolate coins, 5 advent calendar chocolates and a Lindor before Noon today and my libido is just fine. Also this morning was a pretty average morning sugar-wise and my libido is always fine.

Because my younger sister is more mature than me? Quite embarrassing again. Just reconfirms family dynamics.

So what are you doing differently to me? I don't understand.
I suffer anxiety and it's rare that I have a high libido.

I take this low libido as a personal blow to my manhood, however.
Go to a ****ing therapist!!!!!!!!!

But I can't chill out, all the stuff which made me horny I now feel guilty for doing. I feel guilty for being horny. The only time I really escape this is when I'm with my girlfriend and that's because she doesn't know.

If there isn't a problem when your with your girlfriend why are you so worried about it?

You say yourself that you suffer from anxiety (and, when you seek and receive the correct treatment for this, you will look back over this time and realise just how absurd your questions and reasoning have been).
Anxiety is a HUGE factor in both libido and sexual satisfaction. Also, erectile dysfunction can occur even when you WANT to have sex - so it is often a physical factor rather than a lack of enthusiasm.
You should take time out to focus on your anxiety, and to readdress the relationship with your family. To me, it looks as though they're becoming toxic to your improvement and recovery. Of course, this is based only upon what you have told us, and there's every chance that because of your anxiety your perceptions are skewed. However it does seem as though you would benefit from some space, and from a break from the constant eye of your family. They watch because they care, and they won't want your condition to get out of control. Many people underestimate just how hard it can be for the families of those who suffer mental issues, because unlike with a physical illness, there is very little understanding or acceptance with regards to what they can do to make things "better". All they can do is to try and think what might have caused your illness and encourage you to avoid it - whether their thoughts are right or wrong.
I hope this makes sense. If you can sort out your perception on the world and its relationship with you then everything else will come right and fall into place.
If you only listen to one thing, listen to this.
