feeling uncomfortable in my own body
I was sexually abused as a senior in high school and then had a hypersexual phase my first two years of college before I processed what had happened. Ever since I actually unpacked what happened to me and came to terms with it, I’ve been disgusted by sex and my own body, which is really abnormal for me. This is literally so dumb and TMI, but I have a yeast infection rn and I’m really struggling with having to look at myself and take care of it 🙃 just needed to vent lol

First of all thank you for sharing about this topic, I feel like a lot
of people who have had past sexual trauma can relate to you on how you feel about being disgusting. However I am sure that is not the case, I would also really push you to have your problem looked at by a doctor. If you ever need a chat just click on my profile.

I'm sorry to hear that you were sexually abused of your last year of high school. It takes a while to process trauma sometimes. Some people take longer to process more than others. It's understandable that the after effect of that made you disgusted by sex and your own body because of what this person did to you. This isn't dumb and i know for sure you're not alone in this struggle and many people can relate to this. It's understandable that you are struggling to take care of it and that's okay. You have a reason behind why you are having trouble. I'm glad you vented and that you felt this was a safe place to let out your feelings. Please take care of yourself and stay safe

@strangelilegg Hi strangelilegg, I didn't have the same experience, but I do have a major body image issue. My family has a very high standard of having great body shape; skinny, pretty, and perfect skin, my aunt even owns her own beauty salon. But I never really like talking to them, this afternoon, the first thing that my aunt told me is how fat I look now before I was going to my friend's wedding. I have always been dealing with body issue since elementary school and has never felt good in my own skin. I only want to rant it out too. Let's fight this issue!!
