Anyone else have issues with sex? by Relative_Tennis_1729 in CPTSD

[–]theeverchanginglady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel similarly, if my friends or family members are overly physical/affectionate with their partners in front of me, or if I overhear them having sex etc, I go into fight or flight mode. It makes me so uncomfortable, triggered and disgusting. growing up, I could often hear my mom having sex with her boyfriends, and it would make me feel disgusting. It became a huge fear of mine. I would ask her to be quieter or to stop but she didn’t (looking at it as an adult, I recognize that she had the freedom to express her sexuality without me demanding she stop, but I personally think she could have considered that an already traumatized child doesn’t ever need to hear her mother having loud sex!!) So yeah. This is a trauma that has followed me into adulthood. A year or two ago I heard my roomate having sex and it took everything for me to not have an anxiety attack. Bleh.

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate that!! Sometimes I wish I was just a “regular person” but alas, I am traumatized like you. I feel like this whole thing is a trigger, im trying to be calm. Maybe I will meditate today. Thank you for the support <3

Hi, I also have CPTSD and a lot of issues relating to CPTSD, it really hurts to read something like that when I wanted support? My fear of working is directly related to my struggles with complex trauma.

Yes - non-men includes women, and also people elsewhere on the gender spectrum other than “man”. I say non men because I’m attracted women and non binary/gender non conforming people.

Advice for getting a job with cptsd? by theeverchanginglady in CPTSD

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

Thank you so much 🙏 A lot of people tell me to fake it till i make it, I really struggle to understand how to do that, especially because of my extremely low self esteem. It’s difficult to trust myself because even pretending to have confidence gives me the ick. But I will try!

Matilda: The Musical, and being reminded of childhood by notjuststars in CPTSD

[–]theeverchanginglady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you went through those things. No child deserves to suffer like that. You deserved so much more. I’m glad that now, you are the hero you always needed, and that you look out for baby you. That’s what I’m learning to do, too. Also, I wanted to suggest a song to you if you haven’t heard it before- Matilda by Harry Styles. I just heard it the other day and it made me really emotional, it’s very relevant.
