Hyperawareness to glasses being on nose and ears
Hi everyone, I have always felt that I am an anxious person and lately it has been getting worse and I am planning to see a therapist next week. However for the past 6 months or more, I have become extremely hyperaware to how glasses frames feel on my face, nose and ears. I have gone through 4 different frames and some days I don’t notice how they feel but others I feel like they hurt and no amount of adjustment helps. It triggers my anxiety and even seconds of wearing the glasses can cause so much pain because of how much I am aware of them being on me. Has anyone gone through anything similar and have any words of advice because it has negatively affected my life given that I need to wear glasses. I have been wearing contacts but also would like to be able to go back to glasses because they make my eyes dry. Thanks for any advice.
