I get deep rooted anxiety or fear something maybe discomfort also

When my bf sees or talks about my body

When the police broke into my house I was in a sports bra and small workout shorts. I’d only normally let my husband see me that way
There was 15-20 ppl in my living room just f staring at me asking for a shirt to cover up

They were mean too “if you keep asking about your kids we won’t give you a shirt”

Uhhh for an innocent person that sucks right

I know there’s worse but I am trying to understand why I wanna share my looks with my bf but I hate it too and my cousin said years ago them seeing me indecent felt like sexually related harassment and I wonder what ppl think about that I’m sorry if it upsets what you been thru I don’t mean to take away from anyone’s experience but this is mine and I’m confused seeking clarity and healing to enjoy my body again

personally, i take the focus off the topic of my anxiety attack and put the focus on the fact that i am experiencing an anxiety attack and ply therapy tools for generalized anxiety attacks. if the topic turns out to have specific substance. i'll deal with it far more efficiently after i am no longer under the influence of the anxiety

I wanna share my looks with my bf but I hate it too

For me, I just couldn't engage with my body. All sorts of things going on for me. One of the biggest things that helped me was:.shifting the blame of what happened from me to the people who hurt me. That then helped me address the shame and hate I had for my body.
Because it moved from: my body allowed me to be raped = I raped me = my body and I are shameful and wrong.
To:
It wasn't my fault = my poor body has survived trauma = I need to care and love my body and be grateful = it was never my shame to hold.

If that makes any sense for your experience?
