Depression

i believe this is an apporiate group for this community... after all my highly sensitive senses... eventaully got me to this... depression...

i was always very shy and noises,mainly, bothered me most... from people talking to wind blowing about, probably the reason i always played alone... ate alone... my mom thought it was wierd, but my grandma told her it was a phase... well... that was 17 years ago since she said it... and i'm still the same way... i can deal with smells and afew other things but the noise would just make me want to hide... go to bed and never come out... who makes the most noise in this world?... people... they talk none stop, they build things loudly, and the things the build make loud noise too! walking movement is mostly done by people... and too much movement makes me sick to my stomach... because of these things i stick to myself... i get nervous when people are watching me or want me to move fast then i am... so i believe because of me being a HSP turned me into being SA and now that i moved from a small town in AZ to a big city in FL... from a few friends to no friends... from some noise to alot of noise... i've become depressed too...

there's my story and if you're not sure if you're a highly sensitive person then check out my little nefty list...

this group is for the highly sensitive... do the following statements descibe you...

**Do you have a heightened awareness of subtleties in your environment, whether it's sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell.

**You can become stressed out and upset when overwhelmed and may find it necessary to get away, maybe into a darkened room, to seek solitude, relief and comfort.

**You are very conscientious, hard working, and meticulous, but may become uncomfortable and less efficient or productive when being closely watched or scrutinized.

**You feel compelled to file and organize things and thoughts, also enjoys simplicity and may become overwhelmed or even immobilized by chaos, clutter, or stress.
