I wanted to tell you that I have had chemical sensitivities for over 15 years and sometimes one of the side effects of exposure to a toxic chemical is suddenly crying and/or feeling panic. When it’s happening, I am very aware that the emotional responses are being directly caused BY the chemicals, i.e., the emotional response is being triggered directly by the chemical itself, NOT by an emotional response to the exposure. Your descriptions are pretty much textbook case Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. It looks like you are living a lifestyle that will allow you a lot of control to create a safe home environment for you and your family. Sometimes it’s hard to bring the family along, but in time they will understand it’s good for them too!

Your blog is precious, very sweet, very much from your heart, and I am happy to have found you. Be well!
