Welcome to the HSP group! There are several of us here that are HSP with C-PTSD. HSP's need lots of down time to be able to recharge. We are also empathic and intuitive. HSP's are known to see the small details that others miss which would include slight mood changes I would think.

As sensitive as we are I think it would make sense we are unfortunately predisposed to developing PTSD after one or more traumas. A lot of stress is not recommended for HSP's because of the havoc it causes our systems. For those of us that have spent years in stressful home environments it makes it that much easier for PTSD to develop. It isn't your fault you have PTSD or are sensitive. We are wired differently than non-HSP's.

Again, welcome! We're glad you have joined our group. Take care and be gentle with yourself:)

Thanks for the welcome Katzenmother. I am empathic and intuitive.

I work in a store and a while back this guy was shopping. I walked up to him to ask if I could help, as I got closer to him I could feel something terrible. He he did, saw or had done to him something terrible. I helped him and as he walked away the feeling got less and less. I don't remember what he looked like. About a month later in the store this guy walked up to me to ask a question. I felt that terrible feeling again but much less. I thought this is the same guy. Many other things like that has happened to me.

Follow your intuitive feelings. For many years I only did so haphazardly and boy howdy did I pay some prices for not doing so... I am so glad that more HSP's are finding out who and what they are. Take care!

I can understand how you feel as I am the same way. Maybe if you looked at the situation differently and realize that you have great qualities. I have PTSD and more illness's than one person should have to endure, but that's okay, I think it helps me to be a more understanding and sensitive person to others. Do you think that when you pick up these vibes and can feel someone else's emotions, that you should embrace it instead of seeing it as a negative? . Frankly, I'm glad there are people like you still left in this world. Hugs GB

Hi , Everyone . I am glad too that I found this group and people like me. Nothing feels scary if you have a company . Hope to connect and grow with you guys.

Thanks

gramybear, I do see my qualities more as a blessing than a curse. I do depend on it quite a bit, with ptsd, to keep me safe. Yes it helps me to be more sensitive to others. I am a naturally positive person anyway. I do embrace it. When I do pick up these vibes I don't see them as negative or positive, They are what they are good or bad or whatever. I have learned to live with it. It's something I can't talk about to most people. I am glad this group is here so someone will listen to me. Did I answer your questions? If not just ask! Hugs to you to gramybear !!!

yashika, welcome I'm glad your here....

I'm glad your here to Lilly ! You said "i can hear them as if they are yelling out loud" So can I. I have looked around to see who said it I can hear them so clearly. I do have DID so sometimes it;s hard to tell "who's" talking. I don't tell people about this. I'm afraid the boys in the white coats will come and take me away. Remember that song? Their coming to take me away. Sorry it's been a long day!

I am a very positive person. And like you I stay (most of the time) on the sunny side. I do have highs and lows thou. I try to stay away from negative people to. Hugs!
