Today I got my new, long brace. It completely surrounds me from just below my neck to just above my tail bone. Can we say compressed? Can we say it makes me have perfect posture?

I can't say it hurts, but I can't say it's comfortable either. I keep fighting down an urge to panic because I feel like I'm suffocating. It will take time and perhaps some more adjustments before it's ok.

Thanks for listening. No one in my real life seems to understand how uncomfortable this is making me. No one seems to care.
