Highly sensitive person. Are your lows extreme too?

If this has impacted your life in a negative way, OP, or harmed others near you, particularly children, then it is high time to seek psychiatric help.

Honestly I can identify with this feeling, but when I was in an unhealthy place in my life (i.e. was putting all of my energy and sense of identity into my romantic interest(s), having tunnel vision and near-obsessive thoughts about it, etc)

So you're saying you're in your early 50s and haven't been able to maintain a monogamous, long-term relationship. Got it.

I've always felt that my "love" scale goes higher than others. When I hear others talk about their relationships, crushes, etc, I sense my experience would be different - somehow even more intense. All of my romantic experiences have been intense since high school (35 years ago). Even the vocabulary used by other people doesn't seem to fit the magnitude of my feelings. "Epic" falls short. I've even resorted to using the word ferocious to describe the love I feel toward someone. It's been a gift and a curse. Does anyone else feel similarly afflicted?
