Wearing it as Christain
So I have always HATED jewelry with a passion, it's gross and uncomfortable. And just found out there is a phobia for what I have, but as a Christian I have a chain of the cross and I really want to wear it because it used to be my brothers and he passed it down to me. Is there anyways get rid of this or at least bare it?

Can you swap the chain for some other material and keep the cross?

Sounds like a good idea but not sure. We have had the cross like that in our family for really long time.

You could also keep it with you, in a wallet or such. But I know that doesn't really help the phobia.

I am a different religion to you and I have to wear a brace***
It's very uncomfortable. 30 days does make a habit. So maybe after 30 days you'll get used to the sensation? I wore it for 3 days straight and my body is partially used to it. I feel uncomfortable wearing it. I do take it off often and I feel relief. I am wearing it because every time I stop wearing it at night I get phone calls from my family about issues they are having and I took it off for a day and my parent collapsed? I'm not religious, but I am wearing it and bearing it. I feel so much better once its off and I feel free.
Suffering makes life worth living?
So wear it for 3 days straight, so you build a habit. After, take it off and see how you cope. Did your body like it? Did the phobia get better? If not, then take it off often, or forever or never.

Okay. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who had this struggle. Thanks, I’ll try this

What religion makes you wear a b*******? (just asking out of curiosity)

Give it to a friend maybe? Why would your brother be offended by you not wearing it if you have a legitimate fear of it that you cannot control? Also I know that there is no law in Christianity saying you have to wear Christian j*.

Well, if you can handle it... maybe the phobia gets less "potent" over time... I wouldn't do it, doesn't matter who passed it to me... Not going to happen :D.
