I have been recently healing from my sexual abuse as a child.
I have endured 9 months of counseling and two different referrals to physical therapy.
SO, I just want to encourage anyone out there that the anxiety, depression, pelvic pain, and horrifying GYN exams do get better.
I just went for my yearly pelvic exam a few days ago and it was the first one ever that I felt like a normal person. I used to be sick for WEEKS beforehand, vomit in the exam room, sweat, panic, dissociate, shake....and it actually has gotten better.
I think it helps to purge all of that gross stuff out. Once it's out, it's like we can move on. I wasn't thinking about anything other than my health at that visit. It can happen! Healing is possible.
