This so much. Styrofoam. Just typing it makes me uncomfortable. At this point when my spouse is unpacking something I have to leave the house and walk down the street. I can’t even touch it; it always feels hot to the touch to me. If you’ve never experienced this feeling (for me): hearing it squeak makes me feel like I could turn my skin inside out. I wish I could explain it better.
