You're Overreacting by Brooke Metcalfe

As a child I was always told by my immediate family members that I was overreacting or being too sensitive pretty much any time I had any type of emotional response to anything that happened. I learned pretty quickly to suppress my emotions to just about everything. Eventually I had a therapist say to me "You do know it's ok to feel things right?" I spent so long not allowing myself to feel that her simple statement was a huge eye opener for me. I started thinking about how maybe my emotions and sensitivity weren't a downfall in my personality, maybe they were exactly what I needed in order to create.
