Alright, so I got to go home for the weekend out of this institution, and I got to see my friends and my boyfriend.
I realized something, everytime someone comes close to me, touches me in any way, I get this weird feeling. I honestly can't stand being touched. At all in any way. I think I need to break up with my boyfriend, but I don't know if I am making the right decision. I know this isn't really on topic, but I don't know what to do. |

venting is OK!
Are there other reasons to break up with your boyfriend or is it because you don't care to be touched? There's a condition called "Sensory Integration Syndrome".... where a person is sensitive to being touched.(have you heard of it?) Just thought I'd mention it.... Hope you had a nice visit home... other than the touching. mandy |

Radiostar,
If you do tell him about not wanting to be held very much he will try to understand, I hope. Also, You can find another boyfriend-you will get another one that is compatable and you can and will be all right. Despite your mental health, you just may not be desiring to be very physical right at this moment and that is the way people are in different times from year to year, which has nothing to do with mental illness. So keep confident, and look at how good you are, count all the lovely things about you, like your hair, your pretty teeth, and your neat sense of humor for example. All people have admirable traits that they can pick out for themself, you included, dispite anything else at all. Just remember you have a right to choose to be you, when ever and what ever you want or don't want. I know you are important and you always come first, no matter what, ever. Love Robin I like IM's if you want to IM

I can see where this "Not liking to be touched" thing comes from. I have been in institutions and there is a distinct lack of physical contact. So, when you are thrust back into a situation where contact is very prevelant. It may be just an adjustment issue. Sorry if I sound like I am down playing you in any way. that's not my intention at all...Just offering my not-so-expert opinion...

I have not been in one, but do not like being touched.
