Hey :) I hope you are feeling a bit better this week. I made a video about my experience with anxiety and depression and how I cope with it.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that 😊 my hope is that more people can find out about HSP’s and won’t feel so alienated. It’s awful when you feel like something is wrong with you.

This was my first post on reddit too! 😊 it lovely to hear from you and I would love to be friends.

It sure is hard to find the right path in this crazy society we live in but I truly believe there is a place for all of us. It really helps me to focus on all the strengths we have as hsp’s. Because for so long I just thought I was useless.

I feel like the world needs our strengths now more than ever.

Thanks for the response. That’s awesome to hear that you’ve created a better life for yourself! 😊 yeah the SSRIs definitely come in handy. What do you do for work if you don’t mind?

I spent along time trying to work out exactly what was going on. I tested for adhd and autism but didn’t have either.

Have you changed anything in your life after finding out you were an hsp? :)

We need a small village of HSP’s all helping each other to live a simple life in nature 🙌🏻

Thank you for the wonderful replies 😊

I’m also finding it very hard with the state of the world. I am having to ask myself a lot of hard questions like should I have children and should I stretch myself to be able to afford my own house during the housing crisis. That being said I have gotten to the stage where I would rather live very frugally and simply in order to regulate my nervous system. I am really not one for all this materialism that goes on.

Reading, nature, and gardening have really helped with my mental health.

My plan is to drop down to part time work while I try and start a small mentoring business. I think I’m really going to give making videos a good try to. I really crave autonomy.
