AboutThis community is for Males of all ages who have been abused, either sexually, physically, or verbally. It is here to provide a safe place to us to talk about it, and get it out in the open, and to help each other. There are other abuse survivor communities, but this is one specifically for males.
Although it is possible to heal from sexual assault, many people who are sexually abused as children or assaulted as adults find that the abuse experience affects them for a long time. Although many of the following issues could have other causes, these are some common long-term effects:
A)Affective and anxiety difficulties
1)depression
2)impaired ability to modulate affect
3)generalized anxiety
4)anxiety reactions
a)panic attacks
b)agoraphobia/phobic behavior
c)obsessive-compulsive behavior
B)Self/interpersonal problems
1)trust and intimacy issues
2)negative and/or inconsistent perceptions of self
C)Body-related issues
1)somatic reactions
2)substance abuse/addiction
3)self-injuring behavior
4)suicidal ideation/gestures
5)disordered eating
6)disruptions in sexuality
7)prostitution
D)Dissociative reactions
1)memory loss, gaps in memory
2)numbing of feelings/body
3)dichotomous thinking/good-bad splitting
4)pseudo-seizures
5)flashbacks/intrusive thoughts
6)dissociative personality structures
