Does having depression make you hypersensitive ?

[seashell]

I've always felt hypersensitive. I don't know if it's the depression or not but my counselor constantly reminds me that everyone has things they struggle with, depression happens to be mine. Often times I feel the same as you but I try to remind myself of the positive aspects of depression. I know how it sounds but with as much depression I feel, I know I also have the capacity to feel just as much joy and love. If I didn't struggle with depression, I don't think I would have as much empathy for others as I do. If I didn't struggle with depression, I don't think I would be as self-aware as I am. Hypersensitivity is tough to deal with but it just shows how much capacity you have to feel and that is such a beautiful and special gift to have. Remember it's a gift to feel so deeply. It's a difficult gift to have but it is a gift nonetheless.
