Right so i was just wonderinghow people has ve managed in new relationships after abuse. When i was young i was sexually abused by a number off different people(males and females) following this i also got myself into a bit off a viscious circle with other men basically not knowig how to draw the line, i know how stupid and irrational.it is but i used to hate struggling. I used to feel like if i struggled and still got ****ed id been raped but if i just took it i was havin sex which i now obviously know is not right but at the time i didnt really know any better. Ive since attempted a few relationships but i still.find it very hard.to relax and realise that this is normal and right i still often feel disgusting afterward, just something i cant seem to change. I was just wonderig if anyone was in the same siuation or has been and how theye managed to getinto more normal relationships? Ive even tried having gay relationships as im much more relaxed around women but tbh this doesnt seem much better. Any advise?

Have you had any therapy at all? It sounds to me like you DO need some therapy. A good therapy would help you with this. It sounds like you're still suffering from some PTSD, and that needs to be dealt with. You'll need to find a good therapist that deals with PTSD, and can work with you about that.
Your medical doctor probably could refer you to a good therapist who deals with PTSD -- and you could make an appointment. You really should get into therapy as soon as possible before you can get into any healthy relationships. I wish you the very best. Please keep us posted, ok? God bless. Hugs, Lee

Hiya yes i did see someone for a year when i was younger. But because i was under 16 and the conversations wrent confidential it was basically a waste off time. Maybe its time i tried to get back into it. I tried CBT for depression but didnt even bring up my past abuse as sessions wrre so short and after years off not bringing it up with herapists i never made the leap. I just dont really know who to turn to anymore
 i kinda hoped itd be sometin id 'grpw put off' and suddenylu be like every other woman i know but it defo doesnt work like that lol. Thanks for the advise!!
