I hope you're soundly asleep by now.
I don't know if it would be as helpful for you as it has been for me. But I just eventually acknowledged that this was my biology, and whatever changes I made, this wasn't going to change. I just need to manage it.
It makes the self talk less vicious, you know? Instead of berating myself for what I really can't change, I try to accept it. Being very sensitive and anxious does not make you inadequate, and there's no need to give up hope. I'll bet if you think of it, there are lots of ways that those qualities can be valuable at times. Even though they bring you pain.
Or at least it helps me.
