Do any other ladies out there deal with these feelings? I have been told by two different therapists that my previous relationship was emotionally abusive, I wonder if that is at the root. I am getting increasingly anxious and tense when I have to interact with men. Which is terrible because I am in a customer oriented job. I don't understand why I almost get a sick feeling even when a man compliments me! I somehow managed to get married but the anxiety just keeps getting worse. I'm just curious if any one else has dealt with similar feelings.
