When I was approximately 10 years old, I suddenly began to have a phobia of wearing short sleeve shirts or short pants. Prior to this time there had been no problem-I was normal. I would also button shirts up to my neck even during hot summers. Where I live the temperatures can get well into the 90's. My parents did everything to try to change my peculiar custom but nothing worked. Of course, I was not able to dress out for gym and developed a psychosomatic asthma to be excused. In 1995, I was diagnosed as Bipolar, OCD, and Anxiety disorder and have slowly come to be able to dress normally within the past year. I am male and 41 years old. I would like to hear if anyone has experienced this. I cannot explain it.
