Are you a Highly Sensitive Person?

[workinprogress]

Highly sensitive people are easily overstimulated and overwhelmed, and often more prone to addiction. I'm just starting to read about this, but maybe some of the strategies for taking care of yourself as an HSP might help with wanting to numb out with alcohol...just a thought

I am finding in my day to day dealings with addicts, that its a common theme for us to be very sensitive people.

I've always known I was very sensitive, even when I was a child. This is an interesting blog and I'll be sure to follow it. Thanks for posting.

Yep, highly sensitive here, too. Numbing with al helped make life a little less overwhelming, or so i thought for many year's. Now, af, i embrace and love who i am, and what my huge (scary) possibilities are, and i just go for it. Life, and all it's/ my possibilities, is no longer overwhelming, but what a long time it took me to realise what the problem was. Simply, i think i was overwhelmed with life's hugeness, and possibilities. Sometimes, for some reason, we fear our own shining light the most.
