(((((DINAH)))))
There is so much I want to write here, but I don't know how to put it. Extreme sensitivity to stimuli (meaning noise, smell, anything...)
Do you feel like you are so sensitive to everything that you want to just hide from it all? Like you are sometimes running on adrenaline. Well, I feel like I am running on adrenaline with no energy and that probably doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense. Basically I am dealing with an abnormal stress level that seems to be about anything and everything there is. It is making me physically ill. I have no answers to why, and am not sure what is going on. I am sorry about all this. Unfortunately with me, now I have lost the ability to even bite my tongue anymore with things. The pea thing...I just was talking about my mom with the whole Princess and the pea story a month ago. To be fair I have always been oversensitive to everything since I was small, but now it is unmanageable anymore. Have you heard of sensory processing disorder. They refuse to add it to the dsm, but maybe you should check it out....
Have they run catecholamine and endocrine tests on you just to make sure nothing else is going on? Just a thought. I cannot take as much magnesium as I would like too, but it is the only thing that truly helps me ever. Unfortunately, I am having some flank pain issues from that it seems. I am trying to get my thoughts together, but I am just so worn out right now. I could no longer work because of not being able to handle any amount of stress. I have tried so many things and have to stay home and keep things as quiet as possible. I hate it. I don't know to what extremes you have to go to, but I really wish I could get a therapist right now. Hopefully I can someday soon. ((((DINAH)))) I am so sorry you gotta feel like this...
