I think we've all experienced the cold emptiness that seems endemic with BPD, especially if you're disassociated. Nothing feeling real, living like you're just watching a video, loneliness... etc

One symptom I've noticed though that doesn't seem to be brough up though is an actual physical cold and numb sensation, with touch sometimes being incredibly uncomfortable. Its really only comparable to the feeling you get when you've been outside too long with not enough clothing, and things get both dull and sensitive, though its not exactly the same. It often gets to the point where I'll bundle up with a sweater or take a hot shower to try and warm myself, even though deep down I know I'm not actually cold and its all in my head. (Still feeling icy despite being being in a tub of steaming hot water)

Is there any way to deal with this? Its gotten alot worse recently. I just got a blood test coincidentally and it doesn't look like I'm deficient in anything either though maybe it could be something that isn't checked for often. And it only really shows up when I'm dissociating.
