OP: do not get back into the dating scene. DO look for a trauma therapist who offers a technique called EMDR. It will resolve the PTSD symptoms you're having, and will allow you to process everything that happened without excess emotionality. If you're currently going to a therapist, stop. Clearly, it hasn't done you any good. S/he is not trained in the newer trauma treatment techniques, if s/he has any background in trauma counseling at all.

Get back to us a couple of months after you've done this. You'll feel much better.

Do you not see that the above reactions are not normal? See a psychiatrist - and forget about dating for awhile! Frankly, message boards too I would think - 75 posts on this one subject??? That is so beyond the pale it's ridiculous. You know where you can get help and it isn't here - go to where the help is!

Here's a very big suggestion....

Stop banging dudes. Stop it. Get right in the head first. Be celibate for a year. You don't NEED a guy. And stop banging dudes and then worrying about STD's/HIV. It's not hard to do that and make personal decisions.

I have been celibate for 6 months and I feel much better by focusing on myself. However, I have times when I am down and sad. Having sex with condoms never helped either. I always get anxiety after sex and contracting a horribly dirty and nasty STI has heightened my anxiety! WHO CAN I TRUST!? WHO CAN I TRUST!?

Is sex worth all that anxiety? I don't think so. Stay celibate. No one says you HAVE to have sex. So just don't do it and you are fine.
