Not the best pics, but this was an impromptu shoot after the fitting of my custom corset mock-up. It’s an Electra Designs rounded long over bust style corset. The finished corset is going to be grey – very plain but perfect for any occasion.  I’m purchasing it for daily wear to ease my fibromyalgia symptoms. The lovely squeeze from a corset actually detracts from my chronic pain caused by fibromyalgia. Not everyone is the same when it comes to fibro so a corset may not work for you.  Off the rack corsets can be very comfortable, but for my purposes I went custom.  I’m very fortunate to have snagged a spot from the designer. Her work and customer service is top notch.

I’m fairly new to the corset community. Any of you corset?

Oh my god, yes absolutely, when I can’t sit up because I’m exhausted or my back is aching my corsets are a godsend. The downside is that occasionally I get costochondritis, and I have to watch that the corset doesn’t bring on a spell o’ that.

That corset looks like it’s going to be GORGEOUS.

Sensory Overload and how to cope.

(click on images to zoom)

this is very good advice. being autistic, i’m susceptible to overload, and do my best to keep my environment restful so i’m better able to deal with the outside world when i need to, but sometimes shit happens. the number one thing i wish people knew about overload is: don’t get between me and the door. usually i catch it in time to politely excuse myself ‘for a cigarette’ but sometimes, like if i get cornered one of those people who stands too close and wears too much perfume and talks too loud and completely ignores disengagement signals, i can end up in a hurry to get away from the stimulus, and even a little panicky. so like… don’t block my path on my way out, okay?

also, don’t follow me outside and keep talking. don’t try to participate in my spindown. don’t demand reassurance every thirty seconds. don’t make it about you. i’ve got this. i don’t need your help. i just need you to stop making it worse.
