As HSPs we have a finely tuned nervous system and the stimuli we receive daily can be overwhelming. But it’s not just the amount of stimuli my senses pick up, it’s the depth of processing aspect of my trait that can also cause me to feel overwhelmed. Usually feeling overwhelmed...
Learning You Have the HSP Trait When I first found out I had the HSP Trait I was so relieved. I couldn’t believe how everything just fell into place. So much made sense to me now. Why; I dreamed the way I did, I could smell scents others couldn’t, I could endlessly...
“You look great! You look good!” I’m new to finding a Therapist and I’m sitting across from a psychiatrist I haven’t met before. I’ve just related what therapies I’ve been researching that I think would be helpful. This particular psychiatrist responds with a comment, her opinion, on my physical appearance....

Is it PTSD? Or Anxiety? Or Depression? Or could the depression and anxiety be a by-product of the PTSD? These are the questions I’ve been asking myself as I’m learning more about how my Highly Sensitive Person Trait works for me and adjusting my life in a way where I...
So I have this cool project I love playing in. My friend and I began creating and playing in this project about a year or so ago. One of the mini-projects within this project was an HSP News Feed. My friend wrote a program to collect information about the HSP...
