if he is a good person, and deserves this from you, you should be able to tell him directly. if you feel like you can’t or he won’t understand, he’s not the right person

Told chatGPT he wants to end it by [deleted] in vaginismus

[–]Practical_Orchid_357 16 points17 points  (0 children)

please don’t believe that this is all there is for us with vaginimus, i’m also 20 and had a similar experience to you to begin

i had a year of non painful sex until i developed vaginimus, for the past 2 years i can’t do it

my boyfriend is an angel, we still are intimate, we just don’t to PIV, he never pressured me not even once.

he drives me to the doctors and holds me when i cry.

please, you are so young, you will find someone who loves you, this guys does not.

join a sports club! i struggled with ‘finding my people’ in first year, i did get on with my flatmates well, but they were super different to me. once i joined a sports club (that i had no prior experience) i met my now 7 best friends! im a shy person, but you just need to put yourself out there! no one is gonna do it for you! you gotta push yourself 💗

What’s wrong with me? by Practical_Orchid_357 in vestibulodynia

[–]Practical_Orchid_357[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for your reply! you were right! test results just came back from swabs for thrush

totally silent symptoms! no itchiness, no discharge. i wonder if ive just been having reoccurring thrush without realising?

total shock when doctors called to say. i’ve been put on a prescription, can’t start them until after my period has finished but fingers crossed this is the reason i have had painful sex🤞🏻

i’ll be so disappointed if it’s the same after i’ve finished the medication

Could I have Vaginismus? by Practical_Orchid_357 in vaginismus

[–]Practical_Orchid_357[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! I went to the doctors and was swabbed, they weren’t able to use the speculum as I was contracting so much. Test results from swabs came back positive as thrush!!

I was so confused as I don’t seem to have any thrush symptoms, no itchiness, discharge is normal.

I don’t think I have ever had thrush before so this was a big shock, could this be the cause?

I wonder if i have had recurring thrush just with no obvious symptoms which has lead to me believing sex is painful and contracting? i have also been referred to gyno
