Aw, im so sorry your feeling so down. Ive been there.. I wish i had some magic answer, but i can definitely do the friend part! i know what its like to have people in your life that just dont understand.. but this is a wonderful place for support:) Have you seen a therapist or anything? im on medications for my anxiety and i also listen to relaxation/anxiety cds at night when im going to bed.. or do you ever exercise? sometimes that really helps me if im super angry.. sometimes i wish i had a punching bag lol i used to go to the batting cages though and that actually really helped :P but anyways, i totally feel for you, i get really down on myself for feeling bad too and then its just a complete downward spiral from there.. it sucks and im really sorry you have to go through that too :( but im here anytime if you want to talk or if you need to vent :) Sending lots of love and hugs your way!

Help me I'm too sensitive!!!
Posted on 07/30/09, 12:15 am
I dont know what to do anymore. Everything upsets me. I'm worring constantly and cant stop. I try to let go and pray about it but I just cant get all the worry and stress out of my head. I'm misreble and the longer I feel like this the angrier I get at myself. I'm loosing the support people in my life because they are sick of hearing my problems. I feel sooooo alone and my life is spirling out of control. Any help or advice would be great or just a friend would be helpful too :(

Hi MorningDew
To me it sounds like you are depressed like me and it is a really hard place to be because it take away all your hope and sense of purpose; but you can get help.
I went to my doctor the other and they have given me options to explore - proper therapy, medication, meditation....
This is not your fault and happens to a lot of people when things get too much.
I can no longer connect with my friends so I have turned to external help to help me get back to a place where I can communicate with my friends again.
Good luck
Emma

Well what are u nervous about??? Do you hate yourself or whats up?
Obviously people get tired when they dont fucking understand what someone else is going through. That shit happens to me all the time. They try to help by saying some stupid bullshit and If i dont take their stupid ideas seriously they have nothing else to say. -

I think it is really hard to be kind to yourself when you feel this way.
If you are sensitive perhaps you can turn your feelers to the more pleasant areas of life. Nature - a sunrise or sunset, watching water. Beautiful pictures. Children playing.
Pick one problem you have and think of steps you can take to work on it. Then take these steps - that may help you to get in touch with your personal power again.
Try to write down those things you know give you comfort or joy and then add these to your life.
My experience is that when I get really down or in anxiety, it takes a while to get back into a less suffering place. Try to have faith that you will come through. -

Hi: I am there most of the time. My name should have been Worry Wart. I think if I were more willing to live a little and stop living through others I could maybe shake some of this worry. But I am too worried about all of the imaginings in my head to go anywhere except to work. If I could love myself more or even a little things would be different but I can't seem to get beyond my low self esteem. At 47 years of age you think I would be over it by now and better able to manage but not so. I wish I could be of real help to you .... -

Hello, I understand what you mean. I've always been told I'm too sensitive. When I feel like I'm worrying too much (which is most of the time) lol I try to distract myself by doing anything, like crocheting or listening to music. Sometimes I'll write down what I'm worrying about so it's on paper and not in my head. I hope this helps. :) -

Like alot of the others i too feel too sensitive. It makes like hard and sometimes people who dont know what you are going threw get tired of dealing with it. I have lost alot of so called friends, but the key word in that is so called. If they really cared they would be there for you. I will be there for you. Find something you love, music or dance or running. Try it and see how it helps. There will always be up and down days. we just have to hope there will be more up then down. good luck -

Are you familiar with Elaine Aron? She has a series of books dealing with Highly Sensitive People. A friend of mine felt like they really helped a lot.
Here is a link to one:

Good luck and I hope you do not feel so alone, as feeling isolated is not a good feeling.
