Lori, I just don't know.
I just read that fear of the unknown and anxiety in some gifted individuals is a type of overexcitabilities.

http://mindrenewal.us/page4.htmlI don't know if real life's that simplified. �My cousin who's a therapist said any medical doctor can prescribe you a mild anti-depressant to get you over this. �I haven't tried it because I'm extended nursing.
�My trusted guru says my feelings tired, loss of control, and loss of enthusiasm is part of the package of having kids. �He's Catholic so he's said his scriptures say to take good care of the widows and childless, who I guess weren't taken good care of back then. �He says that was a very practical commandment because what it actually ended up doing was keeping these women around the community that had all the skills and talents of a woman and a mother but the difference was they had energy and enthusiasm to do things for the community because they didn't have children.
