A year or two ago, I started becoming extremely sensitive to smells. I keep smelling things that nobody else can smell, and people think I'm weird. It's frustrating because my nose is at the mercy of everybody else. I can smell their shampoo. I can smell when they open an energy drink. I can smell if they eat a sandwich. And the smells are overpowering and upsetting to me - especially when other people can't smell what I smell. Sometimes I smell things that are in another room.

I have other problems like depression, low energy, low libido, etc. It never occurred to me that my sense of smell might be a clue. However, apparently people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) sometimes have a heightened sense of smell. Originally I thought my sense of smell was a souvenir from being psychotic and delusional, but it is actually more recent than that.

Which sub-forum discusses CFS? Or maybe CFS is not the best guess for what I have?
