Two years ago I had to endure something traumatic that has raised my sensitivity to extreme.
Now anything beautiful, anything sad whatever - big or small and I'm hyperventilating on the brink of crying to having uncontrollable silent tears.

My PD as a whole remains the same, just the sensitivity part has been turned up to 11.

I'm really trying to understand the changing of this emotion. My psych quickly mentioned Empathy, however I've always been sensitive just not at this level so I don't believe that's what it is.

I realise what I'm asking might not have an answer but on the off chance someone might have some thoughts or have studied this...either way thanks for taking the time.
