I am overly attached to my clothes

Self Care & Hygiene

hi everyone ✨️ Clothes and personal style are probably one of my biggest interests, but I'm so specific about it that it's not fun anymore. I can't help it, if I don't feel comfortable in what I'm wearing my whole day is ruined and I get moody. My body is changing and so a lot of my clothes don't fit, which makes me unreasonably angry and I end up not leaving my house or not talking with anyone because of how bad it makes me feel.

I am currently unemployed and I don't feel like buying clothes is a necessity, but when I do look to buy something I don't know what to choose.

It's a very silly problem ik, but clothes are so, so, so important for me but this makes my morning routines so painfully frustrating, I already have trouble sleeping and taking care of my hair, so I end up being late everywhere. It affects the view I have of myself, not only for my appearance but because not being able to buy clothes for myself makes me so sad. I end up wearing passed-down clothes or things I had for years now because I hate spending money on this and I get too overwhelmed by all the options and people insist on how I should take better care of myself.

Does anyone else have such an interest in your clothes but feel so stressed about doing something about it? I would love to hear some advice on how to not obsess so much over this, and how to make this routine easier
