    I'm glad to read you've found some help and that you've found your non-productive hobbies again! The key in my opinion is to learn self-compassion and to expand your window of tolerance. When you're in a curious, open mindset, things don't feel overwhelming. It takes practice to get there, so be kind to yourself. But it does pay off to get out there and practice actively looking and listening without forming opinions or reacting otherwise. Maybe first just in small doses. In your case some bodywork might also be helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLBfCzvYS2I

    Meditation is a must, I'd say. To cope with the constant sensory stimulation one needs to stay connected to one's internal signs and impulses. It also helps to learn to observe things without further analysis or reaction. I'd recommend looking into stoicism. I paint, write music and do all sorts of creative things, which clearly go hand in hand with an elevated sense of sensitivity. I definitely see it as a gift rather than a disability at this point in my life.

    The power of vulnerability | Brené Brown (Ted-talk from 2011) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzlF7o

    Here's a Ted-talk from 12 years back on the topic of vulnerability as a method of reconnecting with self. Just a refresher for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Highly recommended!

    The way I understood this is: Turks living abroad are voting for Erdogan since his policies keep the value of their currency low. Then when they visit home, they can live like kings and queens with their european income. Meaning, it's easy to be a Turk when you're not living in Turkey. Hope I got this right?

    This post seems highly reactive to me. I'm sorry to hear of you being exposed to such disturbing material, but I fail to see at true connection of that happening and using Lemmy as the platform. I absolutely agree that nobody should have to experience what you did, but I disagree with the platform change proposition.
