Are you sure you are not my long lost twin?
I honestly do not have carpets for that express reason.
Therapy will help a great deal and if you want suggestions for natural supplements to help--hit me up with a PM.
I do not react well with traditional meds--- if there is a wacky side effect that rarely occurs---that's the one I will get. I use to think I manifested them upon myself, but it happened even if I made the doc and folk filling my scripts not tell me.
I do know that things escalate for me when I neglect to take time for myself for a period of time.
Easy to overlook as my natural self is a nurturer and I tell myself that taking care of everyone else takes care of me------- but my body tells me diff.
