I will bet it is your nerves. I cannot stand wool or anything rough or scratchy. I lik soft cotton like sweats, hoiwever. Nothing heavy.Guess I have sp,e claustrpphobia also. I went through about5 or 6 psy. no good no help. One did tell me to work, and it helped. Sometimes a regular DO can help you better withoug\t heavy drugs. I believe you need to learn to relax and get calmer for a bit and slowly talk yourseld into the idea that whatever clothing you like will feel good on your skin. Touch it,talk to yourself positively, and again and again . It is amazing what the brain can do and you can teach your brain. Dont be in a rush.

As a retired Massage Therapist, I can say this; wherever your brain goes, your body follows. I like the above response because it offers you a new window of thought that may be more helpful than anything else. For me, Yoga...gentle Yoga has helped me get a better mind body connection. It has made a huge difference in my life! I wish you every happiness and gentle ease in your life.

I totally agree with what you’re saying. Unfortunately i’m a very impatient person and dealing with mental illness this long, it’s been hard to have a positive mindset. I seem to gravitate towards the negativity which I know is not the right thing to do but it’s hard to see the sun when all you see are clouds.
