As hsps, we do things on a deeper level. So some of the things that I do to try to mitigate the desire to, you know, drink and use drugs, is keep the anxiety and the depression away, keep it at a low level through good self-care.
Ever wondered how being highly sensitive can influence addiction? In this episode of 'The HSP Experience', host Steve opens up about his personal battle with addiction, sharing how he used alcohol to cope with anxiety and depression. As a highly sensitive person (HSP), Steve felt emotions more deeply, which often led him to self-medicate. He doesn't just share his struggles but also dives into what might cause addiction in HSPs and offers practical self-care tips to manage those overwhelming feelings.
From the impact of trauma to the importance of exercise, reading, and social connections, Steve provides a candid look at his journey towards better mental health. He stresses the significance of accepting oneself, including the relapses, as part of the recovery process. If you're an HSP or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into managing sensitivity and addiction, making it a must-listen for anyone on a similar path.
