For a little while now, I’ve suspected I have repressed memories of being assaulted, which has only grown worse as time goes on. I don’t know who, when, to what extent, or any other details, but I have little flashbacks every now and then.

Recently I (22f) started dating someone (21f) and it’s been going really well. We’ve made out a couple times which I liked, but there’s also an issue. When we do, I get a tinge of panic. Like some part of me remembers something happening, and makes me scared.

We’ve also talked about being more intimate lately, which I’m excited for, but I can’t help but wonder what else is going to resurface? Am I going to be able to handle it without having a panic attack?

I’ve talked with her about it, and she said she’s happy going at whatever speed makes me comfortable, but I’m still worried.

Idk what I’m looking for exactly. Has anyone else been in situations like this? What should I do? Does it get easier with time?
