Ok so I'm going to give a little back story then I'm going to get to the nitty gritty. My oldest daughter is very much an introvert and has issues with PTSD, BPD, depression and hates to be touched. She would explain that before she received treatment even her clothes seemed to over stimulate her. I would see her and she would look so uncomfortable in her own skin. She had a couple of hospitalizations for suicidal thoughts and as she started medication and therapy both with a psychiatrist and a psychologist. As her treatment went along her medications were changed and adjusted and recently she was put on gabapentin. Now her dosage has been increased as needed and she still has days when she is overwhelmed by a tough day and would prefer not to be touched but I swear it looks like one day she just exhaled and shrugged off a lot of that discomfort. She even stopped shaving which was one of her coping mechanisms she literally could not stand to have hair on her body. She has told me she felt like every nerve in her body was buzzing from being irritated and now she doesn't have that constant feeling. I'm not saying that this is right for everyone but I can say that it has helped her tremendously.

I hope this info has been a help to you.
