Yeah I figured therapy is what I need. Wish I could fix this on my own.

Hi pixiedust, good to see you again. Have you tried listening to music while you shower? I wonder if that would help....

Yeah that is what I have done for several years but it's just not working now. There is no stress thats new from the rape so I dont know what has made this as big of an issue as it has now become.

I am learning about PTSD too, when I am having a panic attack I have to contact other people for them to talk me down. I don't know if that is an option for your situation...
