So, I have a selection of fabric washable face masks (I went a bit mad on Etsy) but I haven't actually worn any of them yet. I've tried them on at home but immediately felt like I was being suffocated and panicked.
Today they've announced it's becoming law to wear one in shops next week. I think it's a good thing despite my struggles with them and I'm surprised they didn't enforce it earlier. had to do some grocery shopping today so thought I'd wear one as I'm going to have to get used to it.
I got to the supermarket, put on my mask and went in. I managed two aisles before I was dripping in sweat, shaking and wanting to scream. I ended up leaving the trolley and it's contents and running out of the shop.
Has anyone got any tips on how I can learn to cope with this?
