Hypersensitivity to anything is difficult to process. I can be brought to my knees by sudden noises and movements. I can flip into a meltdown with the crack of a nuckle or a snap of a finger or the beep on the micro-wave. Other days the sounds can go by without me even noticing. It depends on how hypersensitive I am from one day to the next. It can be very debilitating, not to mention embarassing. I am unable to work because of it. No one wants me around when I am so unpredictable and so easily unhinged.

I am getting better at livign with it. I am building up my kit of coping skills. When the trigger is flicked I know it and at the same time as I am meltingdown I am already helping myself back up. Framing the experience for what it is and not going into the mind baggle of what it isn't. Relying on an intellegent response in a moment of emotional distress seems to be helping me bounce back more quickly.

Mindful meditation have been the most helpful for me of anything else I have tried. It doesn't come naturally or easily for me but the more I am able and willing to engage in mindful meditation the better I am able to cope with the hypersensitivities.

I hope you are able to get some relief.
