The highly sensitive person.

NAS71560

This is heavy stuff so dont read it if you are of a sensitive nature.

I am a 63 year old kind and gentle loving man.

I was diagnosed as Bipolar 2 after trauma .  My father was thought to be Autistic and this week the penny has finally dropped.

So am I. I saw a psychic medium on the 2nd of Feb and she told me that my memories would now come back to me !

To clarify that i am autistic I can remember telephone numbers and car registrations from childhood onwards and i do some pretty strange stuff.

I have been seriously traumatised 8 times in my life. critisized and bullyeid for being quiet and again 1990 2005 2017 for being very clever.

I have known i was sensitive to light and sometimes sound since 1981. Flourescent lighting for me is a  nightmare.

I am in Spain for the light !

I started to feel very depressed when the skies went dark last Febuary which coincided with the start of covid.

In the past i have sensed the death of my older sister and they thought i was having a heart attack !..

I have known for some time that i am an empath !.

I have walked up to a person and just said things about them and was right !

This week i looked up my symptoms and they are ones of trauma !

Extreme startle response sensitivity to light and sound aching all over and many more..

I am suicidally depressed in a country with no help.

I dont think i qualify for health care now we have come out of Brexit..

My immune system is destroyed because of heavy metal poisoning as a child.

I need help !¬

What can i do ??

  • You should be eligible for health care, so try and find out.

    And take advantage of any helplines based in the UK. There are general ones like the Samaritans, and then specific ones. Like in my area a small one specialising in sexual abuse trauma. Everyone's using zoom, so see what you can find.

  • What do you want to happen?      If you're in Spain you're pretty much dependent of whatever they supply-  which may be nothing.

    I remember every number plate of every car my family owned - and all of mine & my wife's  (about 60 cars) and lots of my friends and their family cars - it's quite common for us to do that.  Smiley

    A very common thing I've seen with ASD people is hanging on to every slight against them - every time someone said something they don't like, it gets logged.     What's interesting is they never log the good things and the nice people - they only keep the Sh1t-List and hold those grudges close.   Disappointed

    Also, Dr Google is not your friend - it's very easy to find you have whatever you want to believe you have.

    I can only suggest that if you are aware of you needs, then try to change your life for the better - find better friends and create the life you want.
