You know when you are getting worse again. Not just by how you feel, but by the people that are close to you. How they start to watch you with caution in their eyes and speak in softened tones; how they use kind words and caring actions to accompany them.
I know that’s not how things are for everyone, but I’ve found myself being asked how I’m feeling several times a day and my parents coming to my room to check on me. It’s strange witnessing these things, knowing how much these small gestures mean.

Yes, you are energetically sensitive.
“When you don’t fit in, you become superhuman. You can feel everyone else’s eyes on you, stuck like Velcro. You can hear a whisper about you from a mile away. You can disappear, even when it looks like you’re still standing right there. You can scream, and nobody hears a sound.
You become the mutant who fell into the vat of acid, the Joker who can’t remove his mask, the bionic man who’s missing all his limbs and none of his heart.
You are the thing that used to be normal, but that was so long ago, you can’t even remember what it was like. â€
