"Healing is painful because your identity needs to die."

And that's when people often experience suicidality. The message of identity death is perceived as 'I don't want to live'.

You could pay attention to this. When feeling really down and like there's no space between where you are and dying, consider that this is a message your brain is giving you about something central to your core identity being allowed to die.

A child wants to grow into herself and her society. If she grows into herself, she has successfully become nothing but potential.
But if she hasn't been able to become herself she becomes something, and becoming something is the worst thing she can be. Because something is anything but herself, which is indeterminate.
To become something means to hold onto things that can't be held onto. It means to grasp and cling for safety to ideas of the way she needs things to be, but aren't.

Quote for today, from 'Breaking the Borderline & Sensitivity Stigma' podcast:
We use our IQ for doing well at school, but we use our EQ for doing well at life'.
*EQ = emotional intelligence

The take-away idea is that we are particularly in denial when it comes to our emotions, but for HSPs, it's actually a strength if we can switch on to recognising our emotions. Thus, we should put work into improving our EQ.
