How to deal with abuse?

[ellieegiles]

So I broke up with an abusive boyfriend a year and a half ago, I’m still having dreams and flashbacks of the sexual, physical and emotional abuse I went through for over 2 years, every time I have sex I cry. I don’t know if this is some form of PTSD or depression, It’s been a year and a half and it just feels abnormal to still be feeling this way after all this time. Please can someone give me some advice as I am so lost.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Honestly, I think professional help will help you. Therapists are a really good thing. Find one you feel comfortable with and see where it goes. Sex is the most intimate thing we can do with another person, when you’re entire soul is rocked to the core by abuse, it’s so important that you take care of yourself. If you’d like to talk it out in a safe space, DM me.

No one likes to admit they need therapy, play therapist exist to help people like you get through trauma like what you experienced. It's okay to not be okay. Just know that there are people out there who are trained and educated in how to help you get better.

Currently I’m tryna get help for drugs, they say I can’t get counselling until I’m off them so it’s like a vicious cycle really but I’m trying my hardest. Hopefully be able to get some help soon
