I don't think I'm depressed and any medication will truely work on me.I just think I'm a sensative person and pain inflicted on others and myself hurts me so much. I can feel other peoples pain when I am around them.I really can pick up on feelings most of the time, and those feelings transfer to me. Those sad depressed lonely feelings. Sometimes I

"you feel too much". its a beautiful tragedy.

how old are you now? im 23 in 3 weeks. i used to be alot worse off in that department. my elders said it would get better with age. a few older friends said it doesnt, u just deal with it better. and really, its a mix of both. being oversensitive.... its not necessarily a bad thing. we tend to be very nurturing people and theres much needed space in the world for that. but it can put a damper on day to day life. it can be hard to deal with. i would say that as you get older, and you learn to direct all that feeling into other outlets, it gets easier to handle. you dont become less sensitive, you dont lose that part of you, but you do get a tougher shell. for me personally it has taken alot of concsious decision making. "do i want to feel this right now? do i want to let this persons energy attach itself to me?" etc.

you dont always have to hurt. its no way to live.

Thanks. I'll be 22 in June. I just started going to school and was hoping that would help distract my mind some. I have gotten a tougher shell over the years too but things do still affect me.
