I've come to terms with the fact that i will have good days and bad days and that sometimes i will be perfectly fine and other days i will b in the gutter whilst having lots of panic attacks. But the other day something happened which had never happened before, me and my b/f were having sex, I had wanted it to happen (he wud NEVER pressure me into anything, i no how lucky I am to have that)and something began to feel different, not physically different and not my usual panicky feeling i sometimes get but something not quite right, he asked me if i was ok and if i wanted 2 stop but thinking i was just being stupid i said no and we carried on. Then all of a sudden i froze and was absolutly paralysed with fear and it was like the rapist was on top of me again, i was used to this happening occasionally and usually in this situation i wud have a breathing type panic attack and sturuggle as if to get sum1 off me. But this time i was absolutly paralysed, i could not move matt was trying to talk 2 me and ask me wat was wrong but i cudnt talk either, i was trying to tell him that i didnt no wat was happening and i cud see he was worried, but i just cudnt say anything, in the end he just wrapped me up in the duvet and hugged me until eventually i got some of my movement back and cud speak 2 tell him that i was ok.
I no this message seems like a bit of a ramble but has this ever happened 2 any1 before? i've had panic attacks etc. but this scared me SO much i'm worried that its going to happen again, i no it doesnt't seem like much but i'd appriciate some feedback. thank you. xxx

I totally learned about this in nursing school... its absolutely because of your anxiety. It is called ... damn...umm.. Anywho it is real.. its a coping mechanism.. we start with the normal ones (cry, sleep, eat)... and gradually move to task oriented... ego oriiented...psych...and physical coping mechanism... in that order. but there have been reports of people (patients) feeling so anxious and angry about something for example... if a woman kept thinking about hitting her brother and was occupied with this thought...she may wake up with a paralyzed arm... ok im sorry this doesnt make sense...ill look thru my notes and get back to u. But yes...it happens

I wish rapists knew how much damage they really do. It's horrible that you have to live with this when having sex with someone you love. :(

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
