Why I struggle with anxiety and depression

3 Replies

Hi everyone. I struggled with anxiety most of my life if not all. I had a nervous breakdown or burnout whatever it was and depression two years ago. After that awful time in my life while recovering up to this day I finally found out why I struggle with anxiety and stress and worry about things most people don’t. I am a highly sensitive person. 20 percent of the population have this trait. Look into it. Maybe you are one of them. Maybe you think you have a mental issue but in reality you are normal. You just have a harder time in this world because of your finely tuned nervous system. It was the answer to all my life’s internal struggles!! Read the book by Elaine Aron on Highly sensitive people. It is an eye opener!!
