#sensory overwhelm

Does anyone else feel like their eardrums are about to explode when they are in a crowded room for a while. Like the moment I walk into a crowded room, I already feel my energy fading away. I hear the loud cracking noise of paper to my left and the conversation between two people on my left.

By the end of the day, even the slightest sound is so painful to my ears. I would love to follow the conversation, and while I hear (and feel) the sounds, my brain is struggling so hard to keep up with the words.

I have this for as long I can remember and I don’t know if this happens to everyone.

I love the sound of silent people.

“You have my full attention” she said with 25 racing thoughts, 5 distinct noises and a buzzing sound that no one seemedtonotice.

overstimulation/sensory overload really is like sorry I can’t hear you over the sound of my shirt tag being itchy and these two strands of hair touching my face and the tv and one of my shoelaces being undone and air touching me and the plane flying overhead and my own thoughts about remembering to buy hummus

I heard too many sounds at once and now I am a bitch
