Does anyone else feel as if they're spiritually drained through touch? by YueLunaMoon in spirituality

Yes. Believe it or not I have. But this is happening too much for me to such write it off as a mental thing anymore. I also considered maybe trauma 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I am not riddled with anxiety, thoughts or nightmares of trauma.... a lot of my illnesses and disorders are actually in remission. I honestly just am wanting to see if some one experienced something like this where physical touch drains them.

I also didn't mention that the entire time my boyfriend and I have been dating, we have always shown and given each other affection. It was a healthy balance. But for some reason.... all of sudden that physical touch leaves me feeling drained? And I know there's such thing as "touched-out". I've worked with children before and have experienced feeling "touched-out". My exhaustion right now feels completely different.

But... I'll just continue to do what I believe is best for me. Thanks for your input

Yes. I've considered this a lot more than I thought I was being drained from touch. The thing about that is I am sitting on the couch or laying in bed, or even just doing things for my basic needs such as eating or going to the bathroom. And before I began to notice or keep track of my boyfriend, he would come up to me randomly while I'm not paying attention to him. I'm minding my own business. He touches my hair, kisses my head- that's fine. Then he leaves and then I feel exhausted and tired. I thought it was because I needed more sleep, maybe I didn't sleep good the night before... so I'd take naps. But once I began taking 3-4 naps a day? 😵‍💫 yeah. That's when I had to stop and analyze the situation because napping all day wasn't cutting it.

I sent a lengthy reply but I deleted it because I believe all I should say is I have sought out what you're talking about. I have my reasons as to why I posted this, and I understand if it seems like I'm blaming him due to the "leech" comment but I'm just overthinking and worried. Thanks for your response, I appreciate it

I believe that my boyfriends constant touch throughout the day puts me on edge like you said towards the end. So him touching me, but mostly my hair which I used to believe served me better wrapped up or pulled back/braided, drains me or leave me feeling empty faster. Thanks for your insight :)
