I was abused a lot growing up and had many experiences that I would definitely describe as “covert” sexual abuse within the family that really set me up for a sexually dysfunctional mindset as a grown woman. I have always thought of myself as Asexual which I know my repulsion towards sex comes from the various abuses I have experienced. So my asexuality comes from a strong fear of physical intimacy. I have always avoided male attention like the plague. But as I recently turned 25 I have only gotten more depressed about how $#%^ my life really is. I still live with my parents and they have a really dysfunctional relationship and so there is a lot of fighting at home. The other night I left home by myself and ended up drinking in a bar alone. After a few drinks, I was approached by a guy who turned out to be 23 but looked around 35, he left his group of friends to chat with me, he had a big build and was pretty good looking so I was naturally intimidated. I’m not very social but I had a few drinks and he got talking with me and I’m too nervous of a person to not be polite and continue talking. So to cut the story in half, I get very drunk after rounds of whiskey and rum, and I guess because I’ve been feeling $#%^ and alone for a long time with my life, I ended up going back to this guys place with him. I was so out of my mind that I slept with this guy and I have the conscious memory of being drunk at the time and being anxious and afraid but just feeling sort of numb and on “autopilot” throughout. I guess it was a very out of body kind of state. I wanted to feel normal, not asexual, not f*cked up. The aftermath was so disorienting and uncomfortable, I kept drinking because I didn’t want to be sober. He offered me to stay the night, but I didn’t. I ended up wandering the city centre alone at 3am before I got the courage to take a taxi home. I honestly felt like just killing myself last night while I was drunk.
Today I was puking and crying all morning. I have been in a seriously seriously ###$ up state of mind. For several weeks I’ve been oretty much sleep deprived and now with this on top of me. I fell into a really deep pit of utter hopelessness today. A few hours ago I experienced a serious panic attack when i got thinking about whether or not he used a condom, what if I end up pregnant, what if I end up with an STD? I was in serious despair. But the panic attack, my head was spinning, my chest got really tight and I thought I was going to die there and then. But during the comedown from it, I was laying on my bedroom floor, and felt so delirious and started experiencing auditory hallucinations, which has NEVER happened to me before. It started out as whispers and I thought one of my parents was coming in my room but then it gradually became like evil, menacing laughter.... I have never been so frightened in my life. It pretty much triggered a whole new panic attack.
Could this possibly be the beginning symptoms of schizophrenia??? Am I losing my mind??? Is it possible that this can just be due to over drinking, sleep deprivation and resurfacing traumas?!
