you shouldn't be ashamed of what happened to you
#how do I explain to my partner I was TW(SA as a child )

have a serious talk with your partner
pretext and context matters
in my experience one of most widespread defense mechanisms is joking/brushing it off
you must try your hardest to keep the conversation before and during the talk as humorless as possible is the only other tip I can give
if they don't accept you after that then I wouldn't see a reason to continue it
I know it sounds scary that you may lose your partner
but the earlier the better
if it will happen then, it will happen eventually

I’m not only afraid of that… he doesn’t seem the type to tell people about it but like my overthinking says otherwise …
And we know a lot of people like common friends

too much thinking and too little talk is a cause of many issues in relationships
communication is key
neither of you are telepathic

Absolutely no one knows this is my first time talking about it and I don’t wanna tell my parents or my family cuz as a kid I was considered a liar and I knew they wouldn’t belive me
I agree with communicating is key but still I’m afraid…. I thank u for ur advice tho

panic attacks and sublimation

Not panic much more like anxiety and overthinking attacks
Like I can’t stay still sometimes
Okay maybe panic attacks if I really think of it

you need to move to get the thoughts aired out, that kind of movement?
