I have spent my life trying to understand who I am and why I am here. When the book ‘Life Colors’ came out, I immediately bought it, and for the first time realized that I’m not a social misfit, I just experience life in a different way. When I was young, my sensitive nervous system would get over stimulated so easily that I would get physically sick on holidays or special occasions. I got sick and missed each of my class trips up until the 4th grade. I still have a very sensitive system and prefer to spend time alone. The detailed information on this site has been very helpful as I continue to put together the puzzle pieces.
You just described my childhood! when I woke up on school days I would throw up in anticipation of being around all those kids and confusion when all I wanted was to stay home alone with my mom. To this day I get sick and overwhelmed around groups of people, even family with whom I love, I just have, like you said, a sensitive nervous system. Family came to visit me recently and I felt bad because I had to retreat to my bedroom around 6:00 after dinner to find peace, and I LIKE them, they are fun. After they left I got a mind blowing migraine I never could tolerate much excitement. Finding out I was crystal made all the pieces of my life come together, I thought I was a weirdo socially but now I GET it.
