Does anyone else ever get really sensitive to sound, light, or touch? it is mostly sound with me. Like i have to turn off all music or get away from people talking, tvs etc. with the touching thing it's not even just other people touching me, it's fabrics or furniture or anything really. It makes me extremely antsy and totally "wiggs" me out- Technical term. kinda makes my skin crawl.

yeah... yea BPD!

I get the sitting in silence bit for sure....sometimes when here alone I turn the volume down on tv and just sit in silence. Sometimes my head is so jammed up I just need as much peace as I can possibly get.

I totally get you! Any repetitive noise drives me crazy, I even crashed a car at work because I had metallic poles in the trunk and the noise got too much for me. I didn't see the red light as all I wanted was escape from the noise. Luckily no one got hurt, but I haven't told anyone the reason for the crash.

sounds sometimes overwhelm me, as if I can't think unless its silent.

but touch is what can really get to me. Repetitive motion, like someone stroking the back of my hand. Even massages become unbearable to me. Like I'm going to crawl out of my skin.

Yes, can't stand sounds sometimes. People breathing, people eating, people talking. Repetitive sounds drive me crazy if I focus in on them. I can't stand any sound at all when I'm trying to sleep, same with light. I have to cover digital clocks, etc. when I'm trying to sleep. Sometimes I can't stand the feel of my clothes on my skin, especially if I'm wearing tight or too loose clothes. I feel uncomfortable all day some days.

yes. All the time sounds bother me. Robbie seems to have a verbal tic and it is driving me insane, can't wait until Monday when he is back in school.

Touch is an issue right now. Robbie has been wanting a lot of hugs and cuddles and it has gotten to the point where I want to scream "enough already".

I think all my senses have been on overload lately
