I had a doctors appoitnment this afternoon to check if I have a yeast infection. I do not like getting checked out cause it brings on too many triggers for me. I shared with the doctor about having PTSD and she was very understanding and helpful as well. I was in tears while taking and she did not get upset with me crying. I was upset that I had to share even though I did not have to share.
I have realized that keeping secets does not help at all. It helps a great deal for me when I do share.

the saying WE ARE ONLY AS HEALTHY AS OUR SECRETS seems true. It is important to share with those who are trustworthy. Glad you had a positive experience.

I understand. I didn't know when I was younger why I closed my eyes when I had to have a vaginal exam. Closed my eyes, maybe went somewhere else. I know now. You know now. Keep sharing. We care.

I freak out when I get prostate exams, I assume for the same reason.

I can't stand going to the gyno. I usually drive home crying. I finally just had a permanent procedure done recently. Sterilization and ablation. And my gyno flat out asked if I had been sexually abused. She said she could tell who has and sees this a lot in her profession and was certain that I was. I have no memories of it but I am fairly certain of it too. I exhibit almost every single trait. And I have no memories of childhood. So it could easily have been blocked out of memory.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
