I find it difficult sometimes to trust myself and stop telling myself that I'm 'sick'. I do have bipolar but I know that this year my unconscious mind became my conscious mind and everything that I had buried came to the surface. I had no choice but to deal with all the pain and I know that I did a bloody good job of it. It's just difficult when all I really want is for somone to tell me I'm right. I've done so much research this year because I knew that if I didn't figure things out for myself my psych never would. Psychs don't recognise hypersensitivity. Psychs don't deal well with people that (as arrogant as it sounds) are smarter than just your avergae psych patient.I just wish I could take everything I've learned about myself to someone that would completely understand so they could say, "Well done Mel, you are such a smart girl. Everything you have thought about or written about is exactly right!" But that's not going to happen. I guess I just have to trust my gut instinct that says I'm free and I am part of the emerging ascension. I know I am. I've had all the same things happen that you have spoken about- the astral projection, dreams, uncanny things. I've known since I was a little girl that I was part of something higher. It was just all the pain of a few things that happened in my my childhood that prevented me from reaching my soul. I just wanted to say thank you again for your writing. I've thanked you before but I do appreciate you being so candid. I nearly cried when I found this article just because I related to it so well. Hey Samsara,

I just thought I’d drop a line and tell you about some of the things I’ve struggled with. I find it difficult sometimes to trust myself and stop telling myself that I’m ’sick’.

I have been trying to get my new blog straightened out! [See me over at http://www.livingsamsara.com to see how much of a mess I am in so far! Haha!] I wanted to let you know I was so pleased to receive your comments. And yes, thanks for sharing part of your journey. You know what I have found as true also that really resonated with me? "Now that I’m being true to myself and showing this person to the world people fall at my feet." WOW. Isn't this one seriously amazing side effect? I just LOVE you are experiencing this too! It is just WILD how the world opens up and has continued. Oh it's such joy....the synchronicities, the people, the experiences. Thanks for affirming that as a seeming 'given' as we quest upon acceptance of our HSP. OH and something else you may be interested in. I made an <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/hsp-quiz" rel="nofollow">HSP Quiz</a>. Thank you for considering me an earth angel. I consider you one too. This validation from 'like to like' is beautiful. Thank you precious. Thank you. Melanie - Pardon my neglect! I have been trying to get my new blog straightened out!

You are a life saver. Thank you for your poignant, beautiful writing you have pulled heart strings for me thats for sure! I relate to just about everything you have written. I too have spent much of my life feeling like a misfit. Too intuitive, too sensitive. Too much time questioing why I felt so misunderstood, waiting for people to change and understand me. Alternately trying to change myself. I have endured suffering too but I never gave up hope. The greatest joy comes from sorrow and self acceptance. Now that I'm being true to myself and showing this person to the world people fall at my feet. I find most people are just so damn thankful that someone cares and understands. I like who I am. I'm 25 years old and I know my life is only just beginning. I will never try to conform or 'harden up' again no matter how much heart ache I feel. So thank you again Samsara you really are an earth angel. All the best, Melanie x Hi Samsara.

Batteries and lightbulbs. Yep. You're an HSP alright. ;) When I go to cemeteries with new batteries and my camera, I need to have an 8 pack of batteries. Between apparently the energy already going on there and then mine....it's a darn expensive place to take pictures! [Not just cemetaries but anywhere I feel energy or spirits.] Welcome into HSP World. Wow. Batteries and lightbulbs. Yep. You’re an HSP alright. ;)

For the past 2 years I have been discovering myself and have realized that being a high sensation-seeking HSP describes the indescribables of my life and gives it meaning. I have always felt weird and insecure because of my little random quirks. I have also always felt that I was special in some way and noticed that I had a strange and intense affect on people and things around me. I have done extensive research into so much of this as it has become my passion/obsession:P Things like seeing orange when my name is called, feeling drawn to the pleaides, knowing people's thoughts and feelings and having them react weird when I said just what they needed to hear, being called wise, people saying I was like a ray of sun, affecting electrical things (I spend a fortune on batteries and light bulbs), my poles being opposite of most people, and soooo much more. This has all been extremely painful and glorious for me and I couldn't imagine not feeling the intense good feelings that I have. My concern is my children. I have 3 and they are all Highly Sensitive and I don't know how to guide them. My eldest also has Asperger's Syndrome; another neurological disorder that affects the senses. If you have any information on how to nurture HSP children and what to tell them of themselves, I would be eternally grateful. I also want to post a poem that I wrote to help heal and calm myself, hopefully it makes sense to someone else too. Is one not still great though no one else knows it? Why must others bear witness to your grandeur? Is it not enough to exist great as you are in peace? Once one has the recognition his deserved mind craves, Isn't it harmony and calm his enlightened heart desires? I am just bursting after reading this article!

Is one not still great
though no one else knows it?
Why must others bear witness
to your grandeur?
Is it not enough to exist
great as you are in peace?
Once one has the recognition
his deserved mind craves,
Isn’t it harmony and calm
his enlightened heart desires?

Sometimes its hard to remember that not being understood or finding people that you can relate to and who can relate to you, doesn't mean your deficient or defective. That it could mean others around you haven't caught up to you yet. Many blessings Thank you so much for sharing this.

It's like after a period of time...with age and wisdom [maybe?] that living for yourself just becomes more important. Thanks for that insight of your experience Michael. :) I think I can agree with that.

It seems that when people get to certain age, such acceptance does not matter. Either that, or they just give up. I'm like that. I’m an HSP, and I quited being “normal” a long ago.
