So my last roommate (a girl) wanted to move somewhere else, and so she found a guy to sublease her place. Which I really didn't think would be a problem (I'm a girl), so I didn't say anything. I mean I've dealt A LOT with my trust issues with men, and I've improved significantly to the point...

For those who have read my previous post, you know that there was a kid I was close to during my/our abuse. I've since felt the need to contact him, because I just need to talk to him about everything. Well...I "ran into" him a few days ago. I put "ran into" in quotation marks because we didn't...

I've been wanting for a long time now to contact a boy who I was very close to during my (and his) sexual abuse. I kept putting it off, but now I really want to talk to him. It's at a point where I'll do just about anything to talk to him again. I guess it's less of a "want" and more of a "need"...

I've been wanting to get out of my hometown since I was barely even a teenager. But with my PTSD, it was like every single time I attempted to get out or to move...it wouldn't work out well at all. I really only had two attempts, but they ended so poorly it kind of scarred me and kept me down. I...

As a female, who had a lot of issues as a teenager, I'm interested to hear the other perspective from male sexual abuse survivors. Sex for me was a compulsion, but unfortunately, it got me into a situation that was essentially rape (they were much older.) After that, as much as I wanted it, I...

Right now I'm having a lot of problems. Today was one of the worst days in a very long time. I could just feel the fear so deep within me it scares me. Since I was a kid I've had a pretty bad sense of "impending doom". I was just sensitive to any "bad" notion of death - murder, plane/car...

I'm having a lot of problems as of late. I always remembered my abuse from when I was 14, and eventually as a child, about 3/4. Recently though I've noted and told my therapist that I think it's strange I've spent a good chunk (or really, all of) my life searching for a particular guy who...

For almost a year now, I've been doing very well. Little to no symptoms (relatively speaking.) But last Tuesday, it all came back and I've realized things I didn't notice before. Mainly, I use my daydreams as a coping mechanism to keep me from thinking about everything that's...

I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2012, after years and years of therapy, starting from the time the incident happened (when I was 14.) I stopped therapy when I was 17 and started again when I was 19 in college. I started to really dwell on what happened to me and dig deep about 2 1/2 years ago. One...
