difficulty wearing tight-fitting bras/tops after assault
This is something I noticed only recently. I've had plenty of anxiety issues after the assault, like tight chest and increased heart rate, but I'd never put it to a specific trigger. I've realized that it happens every. single. time. I'm wearing a specific push-up bra that hugs my chest more than the others, because it feels similar to the physical contact that happened prior/during the assault. It sucks. I can't wear some of my tank tops as well because they're form-fitting and feel the same way. I hate it, it feels like I'm just one step away from a panic attack the whole time. Does anyone else have a similar experience?
