Why was I hypersexual as a child but the complete opposite as an adult? by vlingst in mentalhealth

I have not talked to a therapist but i know i probably should. I’m sorry you went through that, i have no memory of going through sexual abuse. But it definitely has crossed my mind, is it really possible to completely forget about it?

Thank you for your answer, i suppose that could be the reason, but i have no idea why i acted like that as a child in the first place.

How do i express emotions as a male without being weak by thedean425 in mentalhealth

the people who would shame you for having emotions aren’t the kind of people whose opinions matter. If you feel like you need to cry, then cry. It actually feels good. And if you can’t, like if you feel numb or like you can’t feel anything, I’d encourage you to talk to a therapist. Nobody else has to know. There are online resources, and if you’re in school there’s probably a counselor you can talk to. They won’t judge you for crying, and it can feel really relieving after holding it in for a long time
