From my experience, PTSD takes a dark turn when sex is part of the abuse.
Whether it be rape, sexual assault or betrayal, this type of PTSD is damaging.
Except for war, females are twice as likely to have PTSD.
PTSD discussion boards are full of women who had been sexually assaulted as little girls.
How does this impact intimacy and trust?
They never go back to normal or the way things were before the rape.
Some are trapped and suffer, it is sad to witness their hopelessness.
Does your PTSD have a sexual component?
How much does it impact today?

Mine absolutely does. It’s the hardest thing for me to even try to overcome or be “normal” at. It’s probably my biggest struggle right now, by far

While on Ptsd discussion boards I found the audience 95% female
Molested by dad grandpa uncle or neighbor
Unbelievable how many
Thank you for sharing
Being normal or trying to be normal exhausts energy and time

Among a few others, mine was my uncle. And not even until recently…this past year. I have little memory of my childhood, but I wouldn’t be surprised it something happened then, too.
I’d even just aim for functional at this point, but even that seems like a stretch.
It’s crazy how many of us this happens to.

Little memory of our childhood seems common to us
It’s our thought patterns
Worry and doubt haunt us
It’s a kind of abstract fear
Emotional PTSD fear
