Oh yeah, definitely about emotional sensitivity.

I hope you find an environment that's more positive for you. That all sounds very hard.

Huh, that's pretty interesting about the heightened senses.

I plan to go back to my old job which was in much more sensory pleasant environment .

I think it would probably be more accurate to say that alcohol and marijuana dulled my senses.

I read books about autism, more from the perspective of a partner, when I was still involved with my ex fiancé. I belonged to groups for partners as well.

Is your son a minor or an adult?

I found weighted blankets invaluable (this was before they were the least bit popular or even before anyone knew what they were).

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

I might try a weighted blanket if this heat ever ends

Thank you.

I feel the same way myself. It is hard not to take everything personally. Have you tried doing meditation?
