Child Abuse & Neglect Linked to Adult Health Risks | Psych Central News

This PC article explains a lot. I have suffered from metabolic syndrome for decades now. I also have a heart condition.

What it doesn't include are how metabolic syndrome has affected me and those like me, especially sexually. I am prone to urinary tract infections and yeast infections. Also, I have developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

The result of these health issues is that I have refrained from sex for years now and have increased my social isolation.

Anyone else find psychotherapy and other forms of counseling so emotionally painful that they cannot continue? I know that is my c-PTSD acting up. How do you deal with it so that you can make progress?
