I've got the same thing, Deneb.
I don't beat myself up about it. There are good things to a sensitive nervous system too, even if there are definite down sides as well.
For me, when stress is less I need medications less. When stress is more, I need medications more.
Therapy has helped a lot. Linehan's DBT workbook helped a lot. But I'll always have very little ability to deal with stress or overstimulation. That's just part of who I am.
I don't see a lot of reason to be upset by it either. Yes, it's annoying. But with medications and therapy I do ok. I'm not going to reject anything that makes me feel better, or feel guilty or bad about taking it. Any more than I feel bad about taking diabetes medication.
I've known you for a very long time. Most times I've seen you melt down, you haven't been taking your meds. Now, whether you don't take your meds because you're already starting to melt down, I don't know. But I hate to see you feeling worse than you need to feel.
