Sexual noise ptsd 😭

Ever since I was young I have always listened to everything around me like noises and stuff to be aware of my surroundings but ever since my brother started having sex it has created my mind to hear things and think that someone else is doing that anywhere I go and it makes me feel like crap because I don’t want to go through this and have to think every time I hear a loud bang or hear anything that may sound like a groan or any noise resembling to sex it makes me think it’s actually happening maybe it could be me just venting atp :sweat_smile: (ps I don’t live with my brother anymore)

It does sound as though you do have worked out you have a link at the moment between sound and sex. it also sounds as though it brings up negative feelings for you that you find hard to deal with. It might be useful to talk to someone about this? I think if you manage to talk about this ‘out loud’ it might not have such a hold over you. It might also be helpful to find ways of coping with your noise sensitivity and finding a more positive way of looking at this. You might be able to work on de sensitising yourself. Keep compassion for yourself whilst you are doing this, hopefully it might not take too long to change how you ‘hear’ the world and sex. Good luck.
