Hochsensibilität / HSP

Hochsensibilität ist ein Phänomen, das in den letzten Jahren vermehrt Aufmerksamkeit erlangt hat. Menschen, die hochsensibel sind, nehmen Reize intensiver wahr und reagieren stärker auf emotionale und physische Stimuli. Dieses Thema ist bit.ly/4ljESmp

My anxiety medication progress seems to have stalled and is maybe going backward. I'm still struggling a lot.

If you have experienced long term, intractable anxiety disorder issues (GAD/panic), and a medication has helped you in any significant way and you're willing to share that experience, you're welcome to send me a comment or DM or even email at hi@eilloh.net.

I have good familial, medical and psychological support, so I'm not asking for anyone to directly support me personally. Rather, I'm interested in hearing others experiences, maybe noting any novel or unfamiliar meds or strategies I haven't tried. If you're also autistic and/or ADHD, or considered "highly sensitive", that's a bonus.

What I know now and will never unknow:

* My body signaled danger they overrode.

* Emotional trust was weaponized as access.

* Over-explaining was my fawn response, not poor communication.

* Blocking was protection, not drama. Impact > intent.

* My nervous system was right.

Between Belonging

I've been doing a lot of shedding lately. Identities, communities, masks I didn't even know I was wearing. And in the quieter moments I've started to notice what's left when all of that falls away.

The thing that's true across every version of me, every role, every phase, every room I've learned to navigate, is that I care deeply. I always have. And for a long time I hid that, because caring deeply isn't always safe.

I've moved through a lot of spaces over the years. Each one met a real need for a season. Each one also had edges I learned to stay inside. So I got good at managing what I showed and where. It works. And it's exhausting.

What I've been slowly understanding is that I don't miss the spaces so much as I miss what I felt in them. Being listened to. Being known. Having somewhere to bring my feelings, my questions, my grief, my half-formed hopes. And having someone meet me there with genuine curiosity and kindness.

My husband still gives me all of that. Even after all these years. But something in me wants more than one place to feel that way. Not an audience. Not a group organized around a cause or a wound. Just a handful of people I don't have to translate myself for.

I'm in a slow season of integration right now. Learning to be a better steward of myself. Learning that I don't have to explain everything; sometimes I can just feel it.

But I also miss talking. Really talking. And I'm starting to believe I deserve a place to do that again.

If any of this lands for you, if you've ever felt the specific ache of being known in pieces but not as a whole, I'd love to hear that I'm not alone in it.

The cure for burnout isn't and can't be self care. It has to be all of us caring for each other.

Neurodivergent friends, how do you find compromises with people you love who have wildly different needs than you?

I have a friend with ADHD who lives in another country, and we try to talk on the phone regularly. However, the time of our scheduled call regularly changes, or something comes up on her end, or she schedules things too close together and she can't make it at the agreed-upon time. She recognizes this is something she struggles with and we have talked about it.

I, on the other hand, have my day planned from the morning, and I get everything done that I need to do prior to a call, then I take some moments to settle in by making tea and finding a comfortable spot so that I can be really present, both for her and for me. I can't rush around and suddenly be in the headspace to be there meaningfully for a friend.

For years I made adjustments for others -- waiting around when they were late, arriving at someone's building and being left in the weather until they had themselves put together, being stood up, or adapting to endless rescheduling.

My nervous system just can't handle it anymore. When I don't know when this friend will actually be available on the day of our call, I'm on edge the entire day.

She and I tried having a regular check-in so that she could schedule it into her calendar, and that worked for a couple of weeks but then no longer did.

I care about this friend and our years-long friendship, and we are both better people for knowing the other. Our conversations are always mutually fulfilling, and I love catching up with her.

But I'm struggling to make space for my own need for consistency and reliability while trying to respect her need for flexibility.

Has anyone found a good solution to this problem?

My weekend begins now.

It has been an odd day working from home. The fire alarm 🚨 went off several times. The fire department came 🚒 the first time and they figured it was a false alarm due to dust from ongoing work in the building. But it went off 2 more times after that. 🚨

I have a hard time with loud noises so put in my Loop Engage earplugs each time so I could still hear.

Still feeling discombobulated hours later.
