my wizard robe and hat
but seriously i have to just wear something comfortable since i have sensory issues. hypersensitive to touch and especially textures and stuff. if i'm not wearing something comfortable it heightens my anxiety severely.
wearing an item of clothing that is uncomfortable gives me the same reaction as someone with arachnophobia seeing a spider. panic and an immediate need to remove myself from the source of it. i had panic attacks and meltdowns as a kid because of clothes.
oh no that sounds really difficult to deal with..
i hope you have found a good bunch of clothes that you feel good in.
i actually, for some reason, react a little similar way when i have fever and i'm ill. i don't know if it's in the nerves on the surface of the skin or what but for example taking a shower or wearing not-soft clothes hurts like hell, like the skin is super sensitive
thankfully i do manage to find things i can be comfortable in, i'm lucky i don't find too many types of textures uncomfortable.
just being able to identify it and put it into words makes it a lot easier, and having a family who understands too. when i was a kid the feeling was too intense to stay calm and explain, and my folks didn't know the issue so they couldn't understand why i was struggling so much.
i'm lucky it isn't so bad that it hurts though, that sounds awful! here's hoping you've always got plenty of soft clothes on hand whenever you're ill!
ohh i am glad it's easier now to understand, and supportive family is so important!
