Smells and anxiety

[CiuinAnam]

Does anyone else get set off by certain smells?

I used to get physically sick from anxiety anytime I would go into a library/bookstore. I think it was the paper smell and possibly the idea of there being acres of books on who knows what ... too much information! O_O

... I overcame it by getting a job in a bookstore. It was difficult at first and would still catch me at times.

I still get the same feeling when im in a large warehouse or huge department store

No, but certain lights make me anxious
Like orange-ish lights *fluorescent lights, sunset glows, street lamps, christmas lights*
Anything thats orangish really sets off my DP, and makes me feel terribly anxious
So i try to avoid those things

The smell that most Goodwills have makes me so anxious it's ridiculous. Which sucks because I really like going there. I can only go when its a nice day so they have the doors wide open which airs it out.
