I don’t know if i am alone im this or some of y’all have the same experience but my sense of Smell is making me so anxious.
I could literally shower for half an hour put on new clothes and still have a sensation that something stinks around me, i even tend to ask my friends if there is a weird smell but the answer is always no.
My biggest fear as you can conclude is to smell bad and because of it instead of “naturally” smelling something and knowing it’s bad, it seems like my NOSE is actually the one searching for it and tricking my mind in thinking something smells bad.
I always smells dishes before i use them, smell my shoes before i wear them, smell my bag before i take it …
Initially the issue started when i got COVID, when i regained my smell after recovery i was smelling stinky fish 24/7 (which seems like a commun symptom to a lot of people after recovery) and from there i developed this smell anxiety thing.
