Prisoner to my past traumas

[unbreakable]

I got herpes from an assault, and every single time I have to talk about having it I am reminded of the incident too. I can’t recover like this, mentally. I’ve been having flashbacks of the trauma for 2 years now. They occur again and again just like herpes itself. The worst is, nobody takes it seriously. A lot of people just don’t understand that sex is not always a pleasurable thing (for instance, definitely not if it’s not fully consensual).

Me also!  And being rejected by a partner who I just told lead me here!  I love you all for the care, compassion and understanding you all share without saying a word!!

More power to you all. Hope we all find our peace of mind soon and lead a healthy and beautiful life.
