To those of you with sensory issues (I believe this is pretty common, right?) have you noticed them changing as you grow older? Have they gotten easier to handle, harder, or stayed the same? In fact, if you feel like “going there” and sharing - please feel free to even express what they feel like.

No need to share what they are, if you don’t feel like it. Share what you’d like.

    As for me…I just experienced my least favorite sensation on the face of this planet. Or at least, that’s what it felt like when I experienced it. It fills me with doom, and makes me want to rip off my own skin. In fact, that’s what I imagine through flashes of what I can only describe as “pain” but can also describe as a “serious case of the yucks.” I know it sounds like I am downplaying this, but legitimately I feel so unbelievably awful still. But it cools off after a while. But I have noticed it has gotten worse for me as I’ve gotten older. Maybe because I am not so mean to myself, and just accept my experiences as valid. But it’s still hard, because it’s something so casual for most. And it’s like finger-rippingly awful to me.

    I can still acknowledge that I am okay though, and that’s pretty good. Phew!

    Anyone else wanna share?
