It sounds like youâre going through a lot of confusion and stress related to your sexual thoughts, feelings, and identity. Sometimes, when a person has faced childhood abuse or trauma, it can affect how they see themselves and their relationships later in life. These experiences can cause fear, guilt, mixed emotions, and even problems like premature ejaculation or performance anxiety. You are not alone, and this can be treated. Talking to a psychologist or sex therapist can really help you understand your feelings, reduce anxiety, and heal from past experiences. With the right help and support, you can slowly rebuild confidence, feel more comfortable with yourself, and lead a healthy emotional and sexual life.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist or sex therapist. Start trauma-focused therapy (like CBT or EMDR). Visit a psychiatrist or sexologist for medical evaluation. Practice relaxation methods like meditation or yoga. Avoid self-judgment; healing takes time. Stay around supportive, non-judgmental people. Limit porn or stress-related triggers.
Health Tips
Stay consistent with therapy and be honest with your therapist. Keep a daily journal to track thoughts and emotions. Focus on self-care â proper sleep, balanced diet, and regular exercise. Practice mindfulness or deep breathing to calm your mind. Avoid comparing yourself with others; everyone heals at their own pace. Engage in hobbies or creative activities that make you feel good. Celebrate small improvements â every step counts toward recovery.

Sorry to hear that. Childhood abuse can have deep imprint on development and psyche. Having confusion about sexual orientation is a normal phenomenon, sexual orientation can be fluid and non-rigid. Fear and stress can become predominant feelings if there is history and ongoing psychosocial difficulties. Therapy and/or medication can be helpful in improving unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
