A voice in my head
An update: I've been doing the CBT exercise, where I write down a situation, then the automatic thoughts that come with it, then I write the cognitive distortion, and then the rational response. It is helping slow my mind down and stopping the hamster wheel in my head.
I have been reading about the effects of sexual abuse, and it's so common to worry about our sexuality. In fact, it would be almost impossible not to worry about it after being sexually abused.
That's my update. I don't see my therapist until the end of the month. Oh yeah, I did look at porn the other day to escape from my anxiety. But I hadn't done that in a long time. Practice not perfection.
