Thanks everyone.

That Highly Sensitive book is great!

I realize that the phrase "too sensitive" can sound too much like how many of us have been insulted, didn't mean it that way. Just happened to be short hand for how my mind was working at the time and still sorta is.

I could also say that I'm too raw lately for my own health. Now when I look back over the last few days, I see that stress has been building. Triggered in a way I did not notice at the time. My sleep is all off and weird now.

Some of this has to do with me simply interacting with more people. I'm participating in a local social justice email list and man oh man......can people get argumentative and critical! I want to be active in some community issues, just need to really pace myself.

Thanks again everyone.
