Haptics

How much you physically feel. Turn it up and every bump, vibration, and ache registers. Turn it down and the pain, tension, and discomfort fade into the background.

During the manic episode, Tommy's Haptics were cranked all the way up - he was registering every emotional input at maximum intensity. The guilt about his father's death, the anniversary date, people's reactions to his behavior - everything hit him like a freight train. After therapy and reflection, he learned to dial down his emotional sensitivity. He could still feel the pain of his father's loss, but it wasn't overwhelming him completely anymore.
