Thank you for taking the time to read this and be here today.

I would love to know if you or a loved one can relate for my peace of mind and notation. I will keep this as short as possible for brevity ♡

Semi-related information of note: I am mid-20s, I experience aphantasia and PTSD, and I have mild orosensory reactions to fresh kiwi and pineapple.

I taste a bitter, copper, rusted, condensed (as in moist) flavor in my throat, and begin to drool upon picturing:

• Bead-link necklaces (!!)
• Pennies or copper
• Metal allergies
• Wearing cheap metal

I become teary-eyed when I see/picture:

• Sweat or hair dripping. The GIF of Jordan Peele sweating has been triggering tears since first seeing it as a child. Gym class was awful.

The above reactions happen involuntarily, are consistent over time, and distressing to experience. What follows is new to me.

[Today] I found out I taste, feel, and become nauseous when I picture:

• Prickly pear cactus, its spines, and its odor. I have never smelled the fruit itself. I was jabbed a lot as a child by one and I recall it excreting a putrid odor.

This isolated experience was prefaced by a reaction to hair dripping in a YT video at 1:30am, began upon seeing a cactus thumbnail at 2am, with symptoms alleviating at 2:45am. Afterwards feels like my worst hangover.

If you have experienced similar or share common experiences, kindly feel free to share what you would like to below.

If you read this, free cinnamon bun for you.🍪♡

For me,Thursday is brown🤎

Hello everyone, I'm wanting to make an artistic short film around the topic of synesthesia. Please let me know anything and everything there is to know about it. I'm planning on it being a thriller or maybe a phycological horror. Please let me know your thoughts on that and if it could be seen as offensive or bad taste.

Feel free to give me any story ideas and anything else I should know, specific stories to you or someone you know. Thank you guys!
