Finally!

I have suffered from this condition for over 29 years. I can remember as a small child screaming bloody murder because my socks did not "feel right" If the seams did not go perfectly over my toes I would have a melt down. In addition to the sock problem, I became severely aversive to jeans of any kind. That tight feeling on my waist still gives me the creeps to this day. I live in leggings and sweatpants. The only time I have ever been able to wear jeans relatively comfortably is when I lost weight and managed to get down to about 140 pounds. ( I have been big my whole life and I know that has a lot to do with the sensitivity as my stomach rolls tend to bulge out more when I sit down so things get tighter and more uncomfortable )

Bras have been a source of misery for me. Absolutely no underwire, no lace, nothing padded, nothing except soft jersey material. no seams across the breast. I am afraid to even try on something new. There is maybe 1 or 2 brands that I can tolerate and I buy 10 at once. Even when I buy 10 of the same, sometimes a bunch of them still dont feel right and I avoid those.

It has been a big problem my whole life. Everything has to be of soft jersey material. If I walk out the door wearing something slightly uncomfortable, I will dwell on it until I am almost in tears. I get extremely irritated, nauseous... generally very pissed off and angry.

For example I am wearing a new bra today and i can feel every stitch in it. there is no reason why I should feel this way but I cant help but want to run home and rip this stupid thing off as fast as possible.

Like I said, Im 29. Ive learned how to deal with it. it hasnt been easy but there are ways to live your life and be ok!
