Overly Sensitive....
by DragonTU84, Mar 27, 2008 08:14PM
Hey all....this is my first post here, and perhaps I am seeking some advice or answers.
For quite awhile now, it seems I am overly sensitive to a lot of things. It doesn't take much to make me cry, ball up, feel depressed/sad, and just continue the crying uncontrollably and I cannot seem to shake myself out of it without some form of constant reassurance until I can knock myself back to sanity.
I hate it....I really do....it interferes with my social life, my love life....and it really depresses those around me when I go into one of these spells, especially my current boyfriend, who sees it the most. I just want to control it. I don't WANT to be like this anymore, yet I can't seem to help it. If he says something that upsets me, worries me or whatever, I am likely to go into a crying spell again....and I just don't know what to do.
I also suffer from Panic Attacks and Anxiety, and am taking Lorazepam 2 mg 3X daily and Toprol XL 50 mg, along with my birth control, 1.25 mg Vit. D supplements since I am also severely Vit. D deficient, and my multivitamin. These episodes seem to have gotten worse ever since the mental and verbal abuse my ex fiancee put me through.... I DID have episodes before then where I would cry easily, but it all kind of 10-folded after his abuse which made me a psychological wreck. And on top of it of having to deal with my panic attacks that same year..... UGH it was just SO much stress on me.
Yet now the panic attacks are subsiding again, yet I STILL get these crying spells as a result of what he did to me (mostly - since as I said I had some precipitory signs of it before all that happened). I can't take SSRI's, since they aggravate my Autonomic Nervous System and cause horrid side effects (I tried two and both caused the same side effects....). I will not even go into that story. But anyways, what should I do about me being so overly sensitive and crying and getting upset so easily over things? Any advice?? I need help, and don't know where to get it. Med's can't help and I don't want to take more drugs than I am already on, so what DO I do?? What kind of treatments maybe is there for somebody like me?
