Is it normal to freak out when my bf asked me to turn on my video camera?.So a couple days ago I had a panic attack because my boyfriend wanted me to turn on my camera I have flashbacks about my ex showing me him putting his hands over his dog nose and showing me on camera.So when he asked I cried and kept yelling please no.I don't feel guilty as my bf knows I hate turning on my camera as I was peer pressured into sex too.So both of those things are triggered when I turn on my camera. But he keeps asking I think he don't understand how do I help him understand?

      Just explain to him gently how it makes you feel. Explain that it’s not about him, but moreso the memories and flashbacks that come up when doing so. Have open communication and take things slowly till you feel comfortable doing even small things, such as turning on your camera during a call <3
