Ever since I was diagnosed with autism, I've been more emotionally hypersensitive than usual. If anything doesn't seem to go right, I get upset or frustrated and I sometimes hit myself. I'm seeing a therapist to help me deal with my traumatic past memories so I'm wondering if that may have something to do with it. Will I always be like this or will it ease off over time?
I'm the same.. I don't know if it's because through therapy I'm having to help me.. I've realised I've often been mistreated and not realised it and I feel sad for the me that never knew or understood. Also, I take soooo long to process things especially social interactions, so I keep worrying if people are being genuine to me or not now and it can feel uncomfortable. I still try and keep my thought that people have positive intentions.. maybe that naïve.. but it's what feels natural to me.
Also, aside from that... it's a HUGE thing to take in. My whole life feels like a lie.. as I MASKED exceptionally well to fit in and feel safe and not face judgement for others and that's incredibly sad. It's okay to feel emotional.. cry it out if you need to.. scream into a pillow or out loud. Listen to what your body needs.. all emotions are real and natural for us to have
