So I have PTSD relating to past romantic relationships and it's been a few years since I've been with someone. I've decided I wanted to open up to the idea of getting into a relationship but every time I think about it, I get kind of panicked. I really want to open up more but my condition keeps pulling me back. I'm not really sure how to go about it.

I know exactly how you feel! I was in the same situation a few years ago. What I learned is that most folks of any gender get that having any sort of ex shapes you in some way. So when I have told people that it more than just shaped me, they understood the basic idea. Just go at your own pace. If they don’t respect that, then they are absolutely not worth your time.
