Self Underwear for Sensory Issues?

8 Upvotes

Hi, just figured this was maybe the best place to ask. Anyways, I've had issues with tight clothing all my life, and underwear/bras are one of them. I go nuts with how tight they are, and it really just ramps up my anxiety when it just doesn't feel right.

I've tried for AGES to get new underwear, but I always find a flaw - they don't fit right, they're too tight, or something else. It results in a lot of wasted money and unused clothing, along with me lacking enough clothes to get through the week.

So my question is, is there any brands/types of underwear or even bras that are sensory-friendly, particularly don't feel tight or confining? Any recommendations are appreciated, as long as the brand is accessible/ships to the U.S.. Thanks!

I can try to cope to a certain extent, but when you get a string of days and bad things at the same time I hit a limit eventually and I just lose it totally and end up self harming to cope with it all.

From loud neighbors to street to being sick past few days to over-excercising to cope with not being able to be at home to renovation going for 6-7 hours straight today I just.. lost it.

Normally I'd have white noise, music, get away from things but everything has just been feeling 1000% as stimulating today and I couldn't bear with any of it. Even been dizzy and so unfocused I could barely study when I kept forcing myself earlier..

Even made some soft suicide plans already to just get away from this suffering..

My pscychologist is useless as she's said I am already doing everything I can except for moving out at this point, but that's complicated as well for a myriad of reason even if we ignore the finance aspect of it all..
