#I constantly touched little old ladies’ fancy clothes and jewelry and played with babies’ fingernails as a kid

Can anyone recommend a good brand of grippy sock/tight slipper? No; not for that reason. I’m kinda eh mentally but not necessarily in crisis (yet)…

The fake hardwood floors in this apartment are literal sensory hell to walk on. I can’t take my socks off and walk barefoot on them for two seconds without getting the worst fucking joint cramps in my hands and feet I’ve ever felt in my life. It’s like insta-gout, just add naked toes; but I don’t actually have gout (thank god)… it’s SOLELY from the texture of the floor. I’ve been wearing the same vampire bat socks for four days because I can’t bear to remove them unless my feet have been soaked in hot water before.

Also, the vampire bat socks for your amusement because the little guy is cute:

#sensory processing disorder #I’ve never used that label before but I’m just gonna call it for what it is. I rub wire sanding discs and steel scourers like worry stones #and run the back of my nails on the walls when I walk down hallways despite it being a very bad example for the children #I chew on my hands and scratch my face and neck constantly. I grind my nails into my fingertips. #I constantly touched little old ladies’ fancy clothes and jewelry and played with babies’ fingernails as a kid #I have to touch everything within arm’s reach at the store to test it for quality even if I don’t want it #I don’t like turning on air vents for the bathroom and kitchen or playing certain instruments because they’re too loud #I flick my nails and wring my hands and sniff random items and purposefully eat bland foods so I can feel the texture better #I’ve taken home fresh dinner rolls from the buffet and used them as slow-rising stress balls for two hours before eating them #and I thought walking up a shag carpet staircase in bare feet was a bad texture #These floors are downright SADISTIC #ugh ugh ugh when I get a real house there will only be ceramic tile on the floors #yes in the bedrooms as well. I don’t care. Freeze your feet off.
