I am a 28 year old male. Living in a apartment complex with my girlfriend. I have low spectrum autism, and PTSD from past events in my childhood. I've been living in an apartment with my girlfriend since August. And since than, I've had 2 instances where I've heard our side, and upstairs neighbors having sex. Each time, I would immediately go into a panick, with a instant stomach ache. The first time it happened, I heard my side neighbors being vocal. Moans and dirty talk. This triggered a reaction of panic. I thought it was a one off thing, considering that I havent lived in a situation where I was around other people before this. This morning it happened again. I got woken up by a creaking floor upstairs and super subtle moans. I again, instantly had a stomach ache and rushed to the bathroom and laid in a hot shower, also turned on the fan to our AC unit so the sound would drown it out. This seemed to help but I've been worked up about it all day. The best way I can describe it, is that with my autism I associate human attributes to all objects that aren't even alive. My mind tells me, that the bed they have sex on, in some way is alive and hurting, and that sound triggers something along the lines of empathy for that object. Like a internal need to intervene to save it from suffering. In turn this has ruined my quality of life. I do see a therapist, which I go to next month again, but I would love some insight on this condition, and where to go next. Considering how uncomfortable this makes me. Any feedback or coping actions I can do is much appreciated.
