Reply #201: I can so relate to what you have written there.

I am a "super" sensor as well. I also felt GREAT relief from medication - it's the only reason I would even consider letting my daughter take any. It saved my life - ignore others who tell you otherwise. I thought that I would have to be on it for the rest of my life, but I was able to learn from my new experiences while I was on the medication and could apprise all of the inputs at a more leisurely pace. I'm now much better and laughing off and ignoring what people say - especially when they are trying to instigate me due to my sensitivities. Neurotypical people spend a lot of time torturing us extremely sensitive people (who have trouble integrating all the HUGH inputs) - just because they can! My daughter is actually SO much more capable of dealing with stress on her medication. No more suicidal talk, no more wanting to kill people or melting down into a quivering ball repeating the same thing over and over and over and over again! It's (meds) been a small miracle for us and has allowed her to stay in mainstream schools.

For her (and me), the word ANXIETY says about as much as any other word WRT our conditions. A system overloaded with "noisy" inputs cannot function properly.
