I've realized that the lips might also be a trigger for me too, which is a bummer. My boyfriend is on the verge of leaving me because of the fact that I am scared of being touched. I guess he just doesn't understand. That stress doesn't make anything better either.

I'm trying to look at this as a vacation. I know its far from that, but if I tell myself that things will be back to normal sometime in the future, it helps me keep my chin up a bit.
