Okay - so when I was 16 and 19 I was raped. For many years after that, certain things would trigger me in relation to it. Thunder storms. Someone getting too close to my backside. Seeing certain movies. Hearing the word. Etc. But - about 5 years ago, that stopped. Not sure how or why, never questioned it - I was just thankful.
Yesterday, I was watching an old movie - that really isn't that bad - but it does have a scene in it that is suggestive of rape. Watching it brought back memories n I had to busy myself for awhile after, but I still could not shake the image or the girl's cries from my mind which kept triggering my flashbacks. Even today it continues to happen a bit (not bad tho) Why would it suddenly resurface again? Is it bc I am in a slightly abusive situation? Could that have an impact (even tho I was in a majorlyly abusive situation when the symptoms disappeared)? I am so confused - and even slightly worried. __________________ Life is not measured by the amount of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
