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.

The timing sounds about right because often PTSD sensitivities/symptoms begin to set in about two years after a major trauma takes place. You should look up PTSD symptoms.

AvPD is my core diagnoses but I'm also diagnosed with PTSD.
The PTSD diagnoses always comes up in sub-assessments but not in real life...if that makes some kind of sense? I don't know if I have subconsciously swallowed it or it lays dormant (until this trigger, which is more that I have had to handle?) I just don't know. I will talk further with my psych as-well as do some research (thanks Open Eyes), If any of this makes sense to what I'm trying to say if you could share some of your knowledge I would be really grateful. Snap.

I started having that a few years ago. Now I can't watch hardly any TV or movies because once my emotions are hooked, I go into a hyper vigilant spiral. When it happened as I was in IP, my pdoc there said it was a sign of PTSD.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
