Is it normal for a girl to be unusually sensitive?

For the past 2 months or so, I have been very depressed and sensitive. I am diagnosed with mild depression, aspergers, and social anxiety, if that helps any.

However, this is unusual behaviour for me and I'm not sure why I'm suddenly like this. If someone were to throw something at me and it barely hurt or didn't hurt at all, I would probably cry. If someone were to tell me to fuck off or leave them alone or something like that, I would probably cry. If I see something that was barely or not even sad at all, I would probably cry.

I take three types of medicine. One for anxiety, one for depression, and one to help me sleep. I have taken the anxiety medicine off and on for a few months, but right now I haven't taken it since May. I have never taken the sleeping medicine, and I have only taken the anti-depressants maybe twice. I know, I SHOULD be taking my medicine, but I hate the routine of taking it at the same time every day, and I can barely swallow a 15 mg pill. Yes, I know I would feel a lot better and improve greatly if I continue to take my medicine, but I just give up. I refuse to take my pills. All I have is therapy.

The reason why I even mentioned that was because I was wondering if that could be my problem of being overly sensitive. Could this be a normal phase though?

    You're not alone. I'm also a woman with Asperger's and I am very, very emotionally sensitive too. I worry a lot and cry easily. "That time of the month" is especially rough on me. My psychiatrist always tells me that I need to take vitamin B6 on a regular basis in order to help with my moods, which I admit I haven't been doing lately.

    Sometimes this happens to guys too. I feel like at least twice a year, I get down.

    I have asperger's too and am the exact opposite of this.
    Try not getting upset over things that don't matter.
