I'm so sorry to hear that shitty, shitty stuff happened to you. But I'm glad that you've finally got a diagnosis, and maybe some useful, caring help from a professional.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. At least now you have a proper diagnosis, and a therapist that gets where you're coming from. Hope your quest for porn goes well! *hugs*

Thanks BB. I called my mother yesterday and had a good cry, so I'm feeling a lot better.
