The past week has been intense, to say the least. As a highly sensitive person, I easily absorb the energy around me.

With the widespread fear and panic due to the coronavirus pandemic, I am a bit on edge, feeling like I’m walking a fine line between maintaining some sense of calm in this turbulence and completely losing it.

In this situation, we are all feeling uncertainty and a lack of control.

Here is what I notice in myself...I am:

not sleeping well
more irritable with my kids, not having the patience that I would normally
hyper-sensitive to other people’s energy
unable to focus
