Little background, I’m a 19 y/o college student who was diagnosed with GAD about 5 years ago now. Over the past few months my anxiety has been almost unbearable. Mostly medical anxiety, constantly feeling as if something is very wrong with my body and that something horrible will happen if I don’t do anything about it. Like if I sit on my foot and it gets pins and needles, I get anxious thinking I have nerve damage even tho I know the cause. Often, I feel like one of my hands feels different, and the sensation of them being “uneven” drives me crazy. So, I wear my anxiety gloves to help balance them out in a way. They’re literally just cotton winter gloves that I cut the tips off of to make fingerless. But they’ve helped me more than some medications have. Today has been a rough anxiety day, and now I can only find one of them and I don’t know what to do with myself. It feels as if I can’t relax without them sometimes and not knowing where it is has been beyond stressful. Right now I need just some kind words tbh. I feel like a freak for having so much of my mental stability relying upon fucking gloves.
