For many years I used to think I was such an oddball that this happens to me sometimes. But sometimes things happen ether in real life or in the news that are so horrible I cannot easily speak about them.
Then a few years ago I learned that there really is such a thing as Highly Sensitive Persons. (HSPs). What Is a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)?. As I read more about this class of people I thought, "Holy ***t, that's me."
There is also a well-known Bible psalm (77) that speaks of this phenomenon:
3I remembered you, God, and I groaned;
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint. b
4You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.
So, there you have it. A Bible-endorsed legitimate reaction to trauma.
What say you Seniors?
