    Sensory No-Nos

    I can't do any sort of long pants that hug my legs too tightly, so yoga pants, thick leggings, ESPECIALLY skinny jeans (it always feels like there's something crawling in them ughhhh). High socks are on that list as well. I cannot eat casserole, lasagna, or any sort of slimey mash of foods I...

    How many of you have formed a bond with someone to the point you could call them a brother or sister?

    My past groomer. He had the guts to convince me I was actually family in some sort of past life. That led to me further gaslighting myself into believing I had DID for his enjoyment. I have a more in-depth story on a different forum here I gaslit myself into thinking i was different people for...
