I always had what I thought was a false memory of a doctor sticking a needle into my vagina when I was very young. When I was 21, I read my first post about a woman's experience with VCUG trauma, and after digging through my old medical documents, I found that it was done on me at three years old. Growing up I became incredibly paranoid of my male family members, intensely afraid of my own genitals, and deeply depressed and anxious. I battled anorexia and suicidal thoughts. When I read that woman's story and discovered the source, I've been able to go through some years of EMDR therapy and thankfully I've been able to begin repairing the relationships I have with my family members. I'm glad I can now give back the love my grandparents gave me as a child that I couldn't recieve, but I can't help but imagine if I was too late.
