f*ck, i know that feeling. I cried for weeks. I ended up asking him to not watch it anymore after explaining i tried to get over it but couldn't. He agreed and it wasn't an issue. If your boyfriend understands your struggle and that you are trying, i hope he will stop or at least try to help...

Thank you. it is an interesting read and it makes a lot of sense. I try to look at things in a logical perspective but sometimes that doesn't work, hence my posting here lol. ptsd doesn't seem to follow anything logical since trauma is very emotional. ill try to keep that cup in mind

If I look for too long it will bother me. I can't wear girl clothes because they are tight and forming, it also makes me sick. I tend to wear unisex or male clothing. Loose fitting female pants or pajames are fine. That is also a difficult trigger, that stuff is everywhere too. That's fantastic...

artwork and sculptures bother me but not to the extent that nudity involved in sexual expression does, like on tv or pornography. unless my anxiety is awful that day. yesterday I was shopping at the fabric store to get a yarn needle for a quilt I'm making and they had bra pads which showed a...

that's beautiful, thank you. I will try to pay attention to these things. were any of your triggers the "ill kill myself" kind that you were able to get over?

I agree, it is very limiting and very controlling. It would be illogical to try to find someone who doesn't look at anything like that since it's so common (ugh). Even if I did simply leave the room I would still panic, the thought that it's going on somewhere I've slept and the person I love...

Thanks. I don't think he actually looks at porn, just that TV show. Which this guy means everything to me. We have been together for over 4 years. He is very supportive but his boundary is to not be controlled, I guess. Last night he told me we are in this together, forever. regarding my issues...

I'm exposed to it every day and every day I cant handle it when that happens. its awful. it makes me hate humanity. I cant describe the feeling in words but id rather not be here than be apart of an entire gender that is seen as a sexual identity. its disgusting I don't know what to do. The...

ah, go you. that's awesome. for me, I'm comfortable enough with my body which I don't think it's that. I wouldn't ever be able to do exposure therapy. it makes me not want to be part of this world. I don't know. it's hard to explain my problem. I don't want to control him. I just am sick of...

How did you get over it? I guess it's kind of like that. When I see it, I shut down completely. I become sick and have awful panic attacks where I shake a lot. I can't handle it. There was a man involved in my trauma and it's like since he liked stuff like that so much in order to traumatize...

I struggle with constant depersonalization / dissociation. It is every day, every minute, every second. It's awful. Sometimes I wonder if I am even really alive. I worried I might have temporal lobe epilepsy or a tumor, but EEG and brain MRI's came back normal. I am learning more that PTSD...

I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome after I had to take harsh antibiotics related to an infected wisdom tooth after surgery. Since then, it seems when I have panic attacks or stress a lot, the new IBS/stomach upset happens along with all my other symptoms. so you're not alone. The...

One of my apparently unique triggers (and the worst) is pornography. it makes me sick just typing that word. However, I recently learned my boyfriend is into that damn show game of thrones... which is by definition, pornography. we had a big fight about it and its been three days and I still...
