Can I Stop Wearing Leggings After Trauma?

It's entirely ok to never wear them again! I got SAd in PJ's and it took me years to not sleep fully clothed again. I got used to it by just wearing them for a few minutes at a time with underwear underneath in a locked room - bathroom or bedroom. I fully understand the leggings view as I had an almost then too. I don't wear them anymore either. Hope you're managing ok otherwise ❤️

It is completely fine to never wear leggings again, it’s really unfortunate that your mom is pressuring to wear them when they remind you of such a traumatic event. (And you didn’t even like leggings in the first place). I know you really don’t want to tell her what happened. If you happen to normally have a good relationship with her (I have no idea obviously), maybe it could help her to understand why leggings are so difficult for you to wear. But of course you don’t have to tell her, especially if she doesn’t have a good relationship with you otherwise. I think with time, if you just don’t wear leggings for a while despite what she says, she will eventually accept that she can’t make you wear them. Maybe if you have a good relationship, you guys could even go shopping and find a new type of pants/shorts/skirt etc that you would both like & you would feel comfortable wearing. Then she could be happy about that and forget the leggings. No matter what you shouldn’t have to wear something that reminds you of what happened. You shouldn’t ever feel bad if you refuse to wear them, your wellbeing is important
