I hate days where I can feel my clothes touching me

It usually happens in the evenings, where I’m able to take everything off, lie down on a sheet that doesn’t bother me, and move my hair away from my neck.
This started yesterday and was still happening when I woke up, and I was having problems with it the day before.
I can feel my hair touching me. If I put my hair up I can feel it pulling. I am aware and distraught over my sleeves, my bra, my pants, and my shoes touching me. Ugh the shoes might be the worst part.
Sometimes I can find clothes that bother me less, but today, during a work event when my level of dress should match the event, I struggled.
I couldn’t wear what I should’ve. I ended up ok with the top I went for, but bottoms and shoes are too casual. I feel certain I would’ve had a breakdown if I wore what looked best for today.
I’m still feeling miserable in my too-casual outfit. I can feel it all touching me and I want to scream

I struggle with this with shoes/boots that lace up. I feel like I am trapped if I think about it too hard and I can even start getting angry/hyperventilating.

It's a really awful feeling. I am sorry you are struggling with this today. Do you find it flares up if you're extra stressed etc?

@caccoon yes, stressed, overwhelmed, overstimulated. And usually sitting or lying down in complete darkness with nothing on calms me down, and I’m fine the next day. But not today.
I tried to put a closed toe flat on today and I only got it half way on before i ripped it off. I had to wear sandals
