Comment on Diet guidelines for the Highly Sensitive Person by Sarah.
Thank you for writing this article! You mentioned a lot of things that I have experienced but been confused about, such as: eating a 100% raw diet and feeling like my emotions are also too “raw” or too intense, the need to eat “grounding” foods, and the general wondering of why food has such a strong affect on my emotions compared to people who seem to be able to eat whatever they want without it affecting their mood.
It definitely seems like the HSP has to create a sort of alternative lifestyle compared to the traditional advice on how to thrive. I’ve felt so bad that I seem to need a calm lifestyle with a lot of indoors and downtime – the ideal healthy person is always outside doing rock climbing and attending concerts – but if it really is something genetic and it’s just the way I am, then I can stop feeling so bad about it and instead figure out how to create the life I need.
Thanks again for the article!
