My husband sounds like you. We may split up because we are so different and it has us so frustrated. Our daughter has spd, but luckily its the sensation seeking type. She is in a good mood most of the time. I think the hypersensitive type is harder to manage and be around for the person who has it and their family. he hates being touched (its a miracle we have 2 kids). He is paranoid and fearful, and we sleep in separate rooms. So far nothing he has done has helped. He is on antidepressants and antianxiety meds. Neither work.


I would tell you that medication doesn't seem to work for spd. It seeps like spd'ers can have the same symptoms as other disorders but they don't get better on meds. Ot works, exercise works. Let me know what works for you and I will try to get my husband to try it. Paranoia is really destructive to your life and the lives of the people around you. Fearful people are dangerous people, because they always feel under attack, and it makes them want to defend themselves, even when the threat is not real. Im not saying you are a violent person or anything, but its more like, you might overreact to someone cutting you off on the road and swerve into another car-things like that.
