Phantom smells?

Mark

I’m not sure if this is something connected with austic people.
But today all I can smell is feces. Before I’ve smelt urine and got panicked that it was me. The smell follows me and I’m not sure what do it. Is it just in my head? 

im already paranoid about smells and how I smell. I’ve taken two showers today because I feel like it’s me when it’s not. 

Last week I could smell burning and checked all the plugs in the house and it wasn’t coming from outside so I’m not sure where it came from?

does anyone else have this problem?

  • I live in a council flat that was built in the 1950’s and aside from the wind directions with the west facing kitchens blowing smells down the hallways or the flats below, late at night in my bedroom there is always a smell of stale cooking, even though I never bring food into my bedroom - I know that if I approached the council with this, they would try to convince me that it is all a figment of my imagination (which I suspect has probably happened with other posters on here) as due to our autism, our perceptions are deemed by others to be wrong in some way and everything we say “is not to be taken seriously” in the “infinite wisdom” of certain council officals - what seems to be happening is that over time, stale food smells seep into the walls and are released late at night during a certain level of temperature, wind direction and humidity
