Abuse.
Hey ladies, this is quite sensitive. When I was 16 I was sexually and emotionally abused by my partner at the time. I managed to escape after 8 months. Have previously been diagnosed with PTSD, it made things a lot worse and I still have flash backs about those nights.
Well now I'm 21and I'm on medication for my anxiety. I'm also having psychotherapy which is basically a very intense version of therapy. I'm also having CBT and anger/anxiety group meetings. So basically I'm doing really well.
Last night I was having sex with my partner, the foreplay was amazing! But after a few minutes into the sex, things got weird, it started to really hurt and I guess it reminded me of when I was abused because I bawled my eyes out. My partner immediately withdrew and wrapped his arms around me but I had a massive panic attack and felt like he was trying to hurt me. The thing is, he's completely different to my ex.
Basically I'm confused as to why I was scared and wondered if anyone has some advice?
