Hi Nick! It's very nice to meet you. I'm sorry that you're having such a hard time right now. Believe me, I know where you're coming from; when I was having my worst "panic attacks," I had a horrible time eating, I've struggled with relationships for years, and if I start scratching something, I'll usually end up bleeding and want to scratch some more. And it humbles me to realize that I actually have an easier time with it than many people here. It sounds like you're really in a tough stage right now, so I hope that you are reaching out for support in other places, as well. We are a warm, helpful community, and we'll love talking to you and supporting you. We have a chat, which, if you want someone to really talk to quickly and in detail, would be a great place to start. And just about any of these introduction threads have stories that are liable to ring bells for you.

I hope, if you have any questions, that you will post them. We have a wide variety of people here with a wide variety of sensitivities or lack thereof who are liable to have experienced something similar and have some advice to offer. Also, we would love to know more about you in general. Do you have any hobbies? Do you enjoy gaming, reading, music? Any family that you spend time with? We'd love to know more!

I'm sorry I'm slow answering your post. I hope that we can help you out and (hopefully) make you feel more at home here.
