I dont know where on earth to post this, but im feeling extremely lost and lonely right now. 20 and struggling a lot with this. For as long as I can remember, the thought of touching my nipples or inserting anything up my vagina freaks me out to the point where I have vasovagal syncope just thinking about it in depth or trying to do it. I’m not sure why this happens - I think it’s because I’m terrified of pain or feeling something foreign? I faint whenever I get my blood drawn or shots - not because of the needle but because im afraid of what will happen as a result (side effects??)

I’m unsure how to get over this. I’m literally terrified for my pap smear next year. I don’t know how I can do it without involintary tensing up. Never done a tampon, and looking at my own vagina in the mirror makes me disturbed. Worst part? I’m a lesbian and seeing other people’s vaginas or breasts doesn’t freak me out in the slightest. I don’t know where this came from. Nothing I can think of caused this. I can’t even masturbate without my underwear separating my vagina because 1. I feel nothing and 2. I’m scared of what I’m touching/feeling down there.

I’m just asking for reassurance and support. I feel broken.
