I have always been sensitive, and had anxiety symptoms with obsessive tendencies way back when I was a kid - all fear based problems. Fear comes from profound love, and not wanting to lose what we love. There is also a generic predisposition in my family.

I've been down the road of believing I was deficient in something, spending lots of money on supplements, etc. For me it never helped. It gave me something else to worry/obsess about.

I recently weaned my daughter, dealt with the hormone changes, and now back to my pre-pregnancy self and I'm seeing how much hormones screw with my anxiety. Ovulation and PMS have a consistent pattern. Hormones are assholes. Have you looked at where you are in your cycle?

I'm embracing the fact that I can react how I want to in regards to my sensitivities. I think it is our life's burden - everybody has one - but that it certainly can be managed.
