I hope everyone is well & coping with life. I know how hard it can be ... being highly sensitive. We've often mentioned how it is both a blessing & a curse.

  Hi Janvier.. How are you.. Yes, i find that some days I am the last person considered.. I help people all day long and then find myself pooped and in a heap on my bed.. I think as hsp we try to heal others so much we sometimes forget what we need.. i wouldn't change me though hsp or not.. I think we just need to find the right balance.. Hope your well. Oh and to make you all nostalgic, it's Guy Fawkes here tomorrow. XXX

  Thanks ClayC ... Guy Fawkes Day brings back a lot of memories from childhood.
  
  By the way, it's good to "see" you.

  I am out here.. or there.. depending on how you look at it. I am feeling a bit beat up these days with my husband's health issues, trying to deal with my own issues (including the "official" diagnoses of Adult ADD and the subsequent CBT therapy that I am not in).
  
  I am finding that my sensitivity is a blessing lately. I am learning to "read" my own body and know when I have had enough or when I need to "just say no". I am limits and boundaries and the world will just have to understand!!
  
  Janvier and Clay, how are you both doing these days??

  Good to hear from you Poetic. Everything is mostly good. I have also been working on setting limits & boundaries ... while trying to not hurt other people's feelings. It's still hard for me because I want people to think I'm "nice". I know I have to let go of that!

  Hi Bonni... I am good thanks.. Sorry your feeling all beat up hon.. But so glad that your sensitivity is helping you at the moment.. Hope Belle is OK.. I always remember that gorgeous girl of yours..
  
  Janvier, glad you had some fond memories of Bonfire night..We had toffee apples and hot dogs..XXX

the highly sensitive person is someone who cares deeply about everything ... feels emotions with great intensity ... highly conscientious ... has a rich & complex inner life ... very intuitive ... needs lots of quiet time & space & freedom
