This was my latest CoDA share.

 

I am a Hightly Sensitive Person (HSP) and I always considered my sensitivity particularly to my emotions was a curse bacause I was hurt more, suffered more as a child and ended up with very low self esteem.

But now when I look around I see so many people who are less sensitive living in low quality relationships but hanging on accepting it as the norm not thinking that things could be better.

Now I believe that my High Sensitivity is a blessing because my lower threshold to mental pain is driving me to seek more acceptance and communication and intimacy in my relationship and to seek help in the form of individual counseling and a CoDA 12 Step program.

I could not consider myself more blessed on life's journey.

Alot of encouragements Mood
Sunday, November 22, 2009 | A General Update story
I just spent more than an hour encouraging people in their self esteem goals. I don't know if it will mean that much to them but it means something to me.
