I have the worst trigger in the world. Sex. I won't be graphic about it but it bothers me that when I have sex a lot of the time I relive all the trauma I've had. Too many memories and flashbacks occur. Mostly I get images of past events and just the same fearful feelings I've had in the past.
Yes, I'm a survivor of sexual abuse, if you were wondering. Does anyone else experience this?

Yes. It is not a constant problem, but there are moments. I don't know how to explain it. Usually, it is worse if I am tired or depressed.

Yes I have that problem too. It certainly has ruined what is supposed to be a wonderful experience in a loving relationship. The flashbacks can be overwhelming and I start to relive the trauma from when I was young. After time our relationship has changed to stress more the closeness and love for each other and the shared experiences of being together for so long.
