So I had a traumatic birth and have struggled with depression since my son was born over 2 years ago. Silly me put on a brace face for too long until it all got too much. I've just started therapy recently after being diagnosed with PTSD.
My partner really doesn't understand how much it affects me. I don't want to get close to him because I can't go through with sex as the flashbacks are too much and I just freeze up, so I push him away. It's got to the point where we don't kiss or anything & he feels very rejected & frustrated. Anyone else experiencing this? How can I help him understand how to support me? He's not very good at listening :(
