I have been going "crazy" that's what I call it.

I didn't know why until the humidity reached above 70% and caused mu ceiling light dripping water. So i got a hygrometer and observed it. So for years i have been in pain not knowing why!

I under 55% i am kinda ok, steady 60% and sometimes going above make me angry, can't sleep

I can't buy a dehumidifier without family help, but i cut ties with them. I have rules that i sat and that prevent me from buying stuff, damn you father.

My sugar daddy also known as my biological daddy, is a bad father. Good man, but a bad father.

I am tired, i really want death when it gets high, but then change my mind when the poison goes away.

Taking shower helps... A LOT! I feel ok for an hour or so.

I found that attention to which fabrics I wear and which I use for bedding helps a bit.

The options for clothes include light breathable "tech" fabrics (usually polyester in a trenchcoat - with a special weave or blend - unless you get into the expensive end of the spectrum), light wool, rayon (viscose, lyocell/tencel, "bamboo"), and linen if you can stand the texture.

For bedding, rayon if you can find it and linen.

The secret with wool, rayon, and linen is that they can absorb/contain vastly more water before they feel damp to the touch!
