Hyper sensitive to pain

autismtwo

I am Hyper sensitive to pain and thus body sensations, have anxiety coping with this  pain or tension in the body.. Find it hard to take pills or disclose the discomfort to people around me.

Any extra coping strategies or suggestions  ?

  • I am also hypersensitive to pain, and this fuels my hypochondria. I got checked out my my GP a few months ago - healthy heart and  pulse; my aches are caused by anxiety, she said. I also over focus on them, making them more powerful than they perhaps are. My muscles are always tense.

    I saw a physio for breathing/relaxation exercises, but this made me more anxious. If I focus on my breathing, an automatic activity becomes conscious, and I am already hyper aware of unconscious processes!.

    Autism means 'self-state'.  We can become consumed by our own bodies and the sensations from within. We need therapists who understand.
