No? Not so much? I know. It’s OK.
In this case, no news is OK news. I think returning my Lexapro dosage to 20 mg has been a good thing. I don’t feel quite as wack as I was feeling, so that’s good. Sleep has been excellent. I’m reading The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron, as recommended by HSP Woman, and it’s definitely giving me some things to think about (though I’m wondering if I’m actually an HSP, since I was NOT a super sensitive baby, according to my parents–slept well, didn’t cry much, etc… but it’s interesting).
I did have some moody-craziness last weekend, which I didn’t understand, but then my period showed up, on day 16 of my cycle and way heavier than usual. I don’t know what’s up with that, but nothing surprises me in that respect anymore.
My dentist recommended an NTI device for my jaw pain, and I got it today, so I’m hoping it’ll help me with my TMJ fun.
Anyway, I think that’s all for now. Hope you’re all doing well!
Hi, I’ve stumbled across your blog and I’m glad I did. I read the HSP book last year and I found it really helped me give me a sense of clarity to my actions and reactions. I wish more people were aware of HSP. Perhaps that would lead to greater empathy for people with our temperaments. Even my mother dismisses me by saying I’m just being “overly sensitive” about things. This does not help. Coincidentally, I also work at a university (in Canada) but in a role different from yours. Keep up the blog!
Found my way here through BlogCatalog… to your thoughts on being an HSP (or not). I am very much an HSP, but I was also a quiet baby and small child who didn’t “fuss” much. However, my sensitivity manifested because I was terrified of loud noises, and couldn’t stand “scratchy” clothes or sheets. Everyone’s a little different.
