Sensitive

When I was little, I was really sensitive ... to everything. Emotions, spirits, people, clothing, fabric, temperature, food ... everything.

It really bothered my mom that I was always complaining about my shirt tags itching me or my shoes being uncomfortable. That was me, though. And when I got older, it really bothered me that I couldn't wear wool and other fashionable fabrics because they itched my skin so badly.

But then suddenly -- out of nowhere -- while I was in Europe when I was 19 years old, fabrics stopped bothering me. I could wear itchy things: gloves, scarves, shirts with tags, even uncomfortable pointy shoes and knee high boots that made my legs sticky and itchy. It was crazy, but I loved it.

But about a year ago, I noticed some tags and clothes were bothering me again. Lately I've been cutting tags out or just throwing clothes out. Even some of the very sweaters I bought in Europe have had to say goodbye.

So why?

Does it have to do with the Zoloft. Is there a connection between my emotional and physical sensitivity? Does being emotionally calm irritate my skin? What is going on?

Luckily my Snuggie does not hurt my skin. Amen!
