This essay rings loudly for me today. My body has become hyper aware of clothing since I became ill starting four years ago. I’ve added so much weight from lack of movement and upright time, and all I want to wear is soft soft soft. Right now it’s my newest sweatshirt (the red one) because it’s still got the extra soft squishy parts inside and some thermal leggings with christmas decorations on them.
My body feels like it’s gained weight to try and compensate for how little I want to be in it due to the pain. Like a ballast for helium balloons. It’s been so very long since I felt like myself and when I look in the mirror I still see the skinny me ( tho I know it’s not really)
Damn Teri! For a long time the same thing happened to me...my upper chakras were activated but I wasn't grounded enough or felt safe in my body enough. For me it went from lower ones, to upper ones and then again rooting it all in lower ones lol.
Also, you ignited the idea of me using a name that comes from my soul for a bunch of clients with similar characteristics together! That's so cool!
And lastly...the touch sensitivity is definitely crazy. Currently I'm struggling to sleep in my own bed because of how the sheets and bedsheet feel against my skin and I don't know what to do about it lol
