I love a good zip up hoodie. I have loads, in different colours, and wear them every day. They comfort me, and relax me, makes me feel safe and secure in mind and body. I’ve worn them for years, and they work more than anything else.
When I’m wearing one, I can face the world. It doesn’t seem so daunting, and overwhelming, when I am safe in my hoodie. I feel less stressed and nervous, when I have a hoodie on, their soft fabric calming me. I feel like I can do anything, with a zip up hoodie against my skin.
They’re warm, and comfortable. And with the hood, I can hide from the world if it gets too much. I can put my stress ball and fidget toys in the pockets, always close to hand if I need them. I can also fiddle with the edges of the sleeves, if I get restless in meetings.
I know I should probably be wearing something more fashionable. But I like my zip up hoodies. They help me, so I will keep wearing them, for as long as I need.
