Thank you for pointing out that being an HSP cannot just be turned off at will. I am a new nurse (less than a year experience), and the constant overwhelm has honestly left me regretting becoming a nurse. I am never against working hard, but I’ve decided that nursing is like having several young children pulling at your shirt and nagging, “momma, momma, momma” until you want to pull all your hair out, sobbing hysterically. Will this ever get better? Now that I’ve gone off for a moment, let me thank you for writing this. I truly would appreciate any advice, thoughts, etc. about being a new HSP nurse, because I’m keenly aware there are also advantages to our state of being. Thanks!
