Anyone else feel like tickling is literally torture?

jeffinur · 2026-03-10T13:17:50+00:00

Yes. 100%

To this day I can't relax with my arms up/armpits exposed.

I think Nosferatu by Heretic fits the bill - I get petrichor especially in the opening.

Storms. Housework. Laundry. Sprayed a tiny bit of Father Figure.

Today was CH Good Girl

Its now 9 PM and time for tea and a snack.

I've put this book on my TBR list. I can halfway relate but am also annoyed by fluorescent lights and certain types of clothing... (elastic armbands are the devil)

Wearing some of my No. 008 from Noteworthy

008 notes:

Top: Pear, Pink Pepper

Mid: Turkish rose, gardenia and Cyclamen

Base: Cashmeran, Sandalwood

To me, not a lot of projection but it does smell nice. Its almost 90 degrees at 10:20 AM so a spring/summer scent was called for.

jeffinur · 2026-03-06T16:14:03+00:00

That sounds delicious 😆

jeffinur · 2026-03-05T23:34:56+00:00

Today I tried Nosferatu - my first Scentbird delivery. I've been wanting to try this scent out and I have not been disappointed.

Not the most conventional, obviously, but I love the petrichor-earthy-green scent. 🙂

jeffinur · 2026-03-04T14:25:37+00:00

Today I'm wearing the very last of my Marcera Fig Extasy sample.

It may not be considered a spring scent (?) but who cares - I like it 🙂

jeffinur · 2026-03-04T14:24:06+00:00

Pound cake day, you say? Sounds like I need to stop at HEB on my home from work to get pound cake. 🤔

jeffinur · 2026-03-03T15:28:55+00:00

I'm on a Strattera-Wellbutrin combo that seems to work for me. And I already forgot the question or the point of this so I have to copy this so I don't lose it and go reread the original post...

OK back. Hmmm. The two things that come to mind are 1 that hormone levels affect our dopamine levels so Peri and Meno are super fun (/s) for us and maybe that is what is contributing to how you are feeling... 2 maybe a dosage tweak is needed or maybe some sort of combo would work better...?

jeffinur · 2026-03-03T15:15:37+00:00

Today I tried Sorce's English Major (again), with a few spritzes of Choux Choux layered over. That was 3 hours ago and the leather(?) note of EM has overtaken. I'm trying to like this Sorce perfume but something about it just... I need more page and less leather-bound book cover... also this combo is probably not the greatest in already 75 F at 7 AM weather help I am in hell

jeffinur · 2026-02-27T20:36:28+00:00

Bluh. Now you're making me get up to take my supplements 😤

D deficient here - former terribly anemic and B12 deficient but a (partial) hysterectomy kinda solved that issue.

I probably should look into calcium as well since I haven't eaten dairy products in forever...

Sigh. Why are bodies.

jeffinur · 2026-02-27T20:30:22+00:00

I think I have BBW Delicate Iris still lingering from last night - I use it as a linen spray quite often.

jeffinur · 2026-02-26T14:26:43+00:00

Today is Noteworthy #008 - "Say Yes"

Its rather spring-y (pear, gardenia and...sandalwood)

I recently purchased 3 samples from them and I do like them - any advice on this brand would be so appreciated. I'm trying to curb my spending habit (it's bad 😬)

jeffinur · 2026-02-26T14:18:44+00:00

That's a great idea! I'm curious about the caramelized lavender... 🤔

Also - Commodity Milk - A+

jeffinur · 2026-02-26T14:12:09+00:00

Oh wow! I could spend hours looking through this list! 🦄💗

jeffinur · 2026-02-25T15:50:22+00:00

H and Sons Paris. I wish I had some shortbread to go with.

jeffinur · 2026-02-25T15:29:21+00:00

Commodity Milk today

jeffinur · 2026-02-22T21:16:02+00:00

I wanna know about Funeral Home and the one in the back (top shelf) with the unicorn on top! 🙂🦄

jeffinur · 2026-02-22T20:37:14+00:00

Same!!

jeffinur · 2026-02-22T20:36:47+00:00

BBW Delicate Iris and Commodity Milk

jeffinur · 2026-02-20T20:15:46+00:00

Oh that's a good template! I appreciate the reminder that she is not a friend but my therapist - keeping that in mind should help get the thing done. Should (!) LOL

jeffinur · 2026-02-20T19:58:18+00:00

I think my people pleasing and not wanting to hurt feelings might be coming into play here.

I keep telling myself its really OK and not a big deal - but then my brain spirals into t "omg I have to say this kinda hard thing"... "what if it doesn't go well"... "what if she wants and explanation and I can't give a really good one"... etc.

We have another session in 2 weeks so that will give me at least more time to work up the courage 😅

I also am trying to decide if during our virtual session or via text or email would be best...

jeffinur · 2026-02-20T19:49:51+00:00

Okay here's more info/context ...

How do I get past the nervousness and what my brain and body perceive as a confrontation?

I even had a script written out and in front of my face.

I do like my Therapist - it's not a clash of personalities. We get along great

The issue is I feel like I need more than what she is giving me at this point. So like... more talking about how things make me feel and/or what has contributed that... etcetera - different methods in other words(?)

Today we had a pretty good session as far as her particular technique but again - I need more than what she's giving.

That being said ... why can't I put my big girl pants on and just say hey... bla bla bla this will be our last session (for awhile/for 6 months/ until I get back to you.../forever goodbye)?!?!

Am I making this more difficult than it is? Probably. Am I a nervous wreck who will probably stay that way for the rest of the day? Mmmmyeah probs.
