Hi KirAnn, Chloe and mosaic

Thank you very much for your replies, very interesting and helpful to hear about your experiences. I am very sensitive to many things, including caffeine, alcohol, certain smells etc, and finding and working RR is certainly helping me to feel calmer and steadier, and actually more confident about managing all this.
