Yeah, I am very much a sensory seeker. Always have been, most likely always will be.

I also have intense oral fixations - I just don't feel comfortable without anything in my mouth (hence all of my pens are chewed up).

I don't like hot environments, hot drinks, hot food - warm is fine, though, and I do like hot peppers (as long as they are not hot temperature-wise). That makes my hair stand on end, to be completely frank. I love cold foods, though. That's odd, because I do like my showers to be piping hot. Heh.

There are only a few consistent things in my sensory diet these days. A daily workout at the Y, followed with a hot shower. My iPod is always playing for the most part. When I am sitting down in front of the television, I hug a pillow against my chest. I also do the same when I am in bed. I get very nervous without that pillow. And, of course, I chew on my pens. I used to smoke cigars, but the prohibitive costs have cut that out of my sensory diet. I am not a fan of most forms of clothing - I wear it when I go out, or when it gets too cold in my apartment, or when I otherwise absolutely have to..... Oddly enough, the only part of clothing that I do get some enjoyment out of is the tags scraping against my skin. And now that I have stopped drinking alcohol, I am feeling more out of place with my surroundings. My current sensory diet is not nearly enough to keep me from feeling utterly nervous and jumpy. Medication helps take the edge off, but I am exploring every avenue that is available since it does little else than take the edge off.

Yeah, this is the odd inner world of Kaworu. This is how I deal with my sensory issues. Heh.

So, based on what I just said here, what can be tried? Can anything be tried?..... Well, that's the question. Thanks in advance to anybody who has a decent answer.
