pelvic pain

[Nienor]

This may sound strange...

When I'm reading books or movies that have any sort of forced sex or touch or anything like that I get this sort of dull ache/pain/almost burning in my pelvic area. Is that normal? It's not like a constant pain like most things I've seen that talk about it.

For a long time I was worried that it was arousal or something like that, as I've never been interested in sex. But I don't think that's what it is.

I can't find a counselor in my area or else I'd just ask them.

It could be. I'm on meds to help with the dreams, but I didn't know it could show up like that.

But it only happens when there's rape or abuse, not when I see normal sex scenes. And I can't ever think of a time I've been aroused or wanted to have sex. So basically I don't know what's going on...

i get that too Nienor. I just associate it with body memories. I get that among other things like certain smells or tastes. *shrug*

Yeah, I have a lot. My doctor has me on some ptsd meds to deal with dreams. Well, technically they're not for ptsd, but they found they help with dreams on accident

awww *HUGE HUGS* I know how it is... your brain associates the memories with it. PTSD sucks but I'm finally starting to make progress, with it all. You'll get through it I know you will!

I get pelvic pain quite a bit as part of some flashbacks - it's one of the more unpleasant body memories for me. I tend to find that focusing on the present helps a lot - staying grounded so as not to have the memory last too long at any one time.

It is also easier to cope with when I don't blame myself for it too. Stress makes pain worse so I guess that makes sense.

Will be thinking of you!

I have allot of pain in the pelvic area when outside cold weather or stress out

I just had stuff like that happen to me last week or so. It was so extremely painful... It has stopped for now, but that's because I have suppressed a lot.
