Winona Ryder has said, “You go through spells where you feel that maybe you’re too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.”
“There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy,” she has said about her own brief stay at a psychiatric clinic.
“I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.”
From post: Sensitivity and stress – Winona Ryder: “Maybe I’m too sensitive for this world.
Having mental health challenges like depression and anxiety may be all the more severe when we are highly sensitive.
All my life i have always been extremely sensitive, but i never knew that there was a posibility that i was not just a little bit crazy for feeling things as deeply as i do. Thank you.
I can identify with Wynona Ryder. i too sometimes feel like i’m too highly sensitive or too emotionally in tune with the world and the people in it to belong.
