I use to be the same way. I sometimes spent more time in the bathroom then on the floor working. But I began meditating, and getting to know myself better, I talk to myself constantly and I find that it really helps. I remember my dad telling me, "don't let that stuff bother you" and I repeated that to myself over and over again and it helped.

I think you just need to learn some coping skills. You should talk to your doctor. At our local hospital there is a 3 week program called the Serene Program where I learned some valuable coping skills and because it was in the evening hours, I could still work at my full time job. Talk to your doctor about what is available where you live because you don't have to go through life like this when there is help available, if you live in the USA That is. I don't know what they have in other countries.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

God Bless

Hi. I’m new too. I can relate. Hang in there. For me, developing self-confidence over time is the key to slowly gaining freedom from painful triggers. Your gut and painful feelings are telling you something is off. Trust them. You are always right to feel the way you do. There is nothing wrong with you for feeling so hurt so easily. Trusting your experience is the process to getting the clarity you seek. It gets easier over time. You are on the right track. What you will eventually find is more of yourself. You will become more self-aware; you will know where you fit in. The clarity I gain about myself is what brings the self-confidence I need to feel less triggered.

When you value yourself, you can more easily deal with poor treatment from others in your daily interactions. Your emotional world is safer. Your personal relationships also need to be healthy. I’ve come to a point now where I need healthy personal relationships to further gain deep healing leading to even greater self-confidence. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I am much less triggered than I used to be. I also have a lot more confidence to gain.

I certainly think finding and loving your true self is freedom. From that place you will know your strengths as a sensitive. You CAN thrive. It’s possible. I think reaching out for help is critical, but you need to be able to identify the right kind of people who are capable of lifting you up and truly valuing your perspective. That may take some time. You are reaching out here. You are heading in the right direction. You are insightful. You’ll get what you need in time. You have everything it takes to know what to do. You are extremely valuable and deserve the best. I’m sorry you have to deal with the horrible pain.
