Posting in relationships as it's a sensitive topic and I don't know where else to post and hope there are some kind, wise people out there to help. I have recently had a general anaesthetic and gynae surgery, and it has triggered past memories of abuse/rape from when I was much younger.
It feels very weird to have been unconscious and had a load of people looking at me. I think coming round without the paper pants on that I wore into the theatre has struck me. Can anyone relate? Or point me to where I could maybe talk about this some more? I need to stress that everyone was so professional, nothing untoward happened at all. It's just triggered these feelings, and ongoing pelvic pain is a constant reminded. I'm sure it will settle down when the pain subsides.
