Sex sounds more scary than sexy.

I have PTSD and I'm a girl. I don't have sex sometimes with my bf because it IS actually triggering. After being raped, sex just doesn't always feel happy or safe to me.

It's easy to let it get the best of you.

The guy I'm dating triggered my ptsd, & it's all I think about. I can't remember good moments. I just remember what he did & the fear. I think it's a deal breaker & I feel terrible but can't help it.

I told my husband multiple times that I hate when people sneak up on me and scare me due to my ptsd, but he did it again today. How can he be so insensitive?

Ugh.

Me and my husband don't have sex due to my PTSD. I've given him permission to have sex with other people, but he turned my offer down.I just don't want him to get sexually frustrated or leave me.

Don't beat yourself up.

I hate not being able to do things with my husband because of my PTSD and flashbacks. I feel bad and feel like I'm the most boring wife ever.

It's hard to not let the fear get in the way of your life.

I'm so tired of being alone. After 9 months of being divorced from my wife of 7 years, I still can't get a date. It's because I'm scared she'll reject me because of my PTSD from time in the Marine Corps...
