Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I am 34, 175 pounds and 5 9 . I have bipolar, borderline personality disorder, and PTSD. The PTSD from being in a sexually and emotionally abusive marriage for 5 yrs. I then remarried and found out 6 yrs into the marriage that HE was gay. The marriage lasted for 10 yrs. I am now currently in a very loving relationship and have been for 6 months, but sexually we aren t seeing eye to eye and have major issues. I do have desire just not as often as he d like and when I feel pressured to have sex with him I completely shut down. He understands my past and I m doing my best to overcome those hurdles, but I feel like I am losing his interests because I can t perform sexually as he d like. Any words of encouragement or advise would be most helpful. And Yes I did try therapy, but all I got out of that was the therapist telling me I m lesbian and a feeling that I was violated in a sexual way.
[|AI|]  Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much.  I can appraise you that the causes of your problems could be so many, and it is always better not to go behind analyzing the causes. When we go behind those we tend to relate things with the past and those relations put us in more pressure, increasing our anxiety and panic attacks. You should know that these problems are not mental diseases, but are mental disorders. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Lifestyle changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc. are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you to change your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information. Understanding these mental disorders should give you correct insight in managing them. Therapy is very much important. If you are not satisfied with the current therapist, find a new experienced therapist. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.
