Am I the only one?
This is my first time using this, so I don't even know if I'm doing this right. I am an 18yo female, I have diagnosed anxiety and I'm an empathetic person (This is relevant I swear). I recently just started reading this book called "Every way back to you by Briggs, K.L on my kindle. I saw the warnings in the description, I didn't think much of it because I've seen and read worse. I grew up with an emotionally abusive and manipulative father, I've seen the way he's treated my mom my entire life, so I'm not new to the horrors of this world. But for some reason, page 50-54 has my heart racing, my chest tight, hands shaking and the strong urge to cry. I've read rape scenes before, I never liked them but none have affected me the way this one does. I had to physically put this away and take a breather. I've NEVER had to do this before and I've read THOUSANDS of books either worse or exactly like this. Every time I try opening it back up and abt to read my anxiety flares and I have to put it back down. I don't know if I can finish, ive never not finished a book before but even if I did try to finish this book I would have to skip a few pages but then I'd be confused what the next chapter would be about. I can't understand why I feel this way. I was wondering if maybe any of you all had an idea of why or if maybe I'm not the only one?
