Does anyone experience sensory overload like this?

Post Reply New Topic

I have days of complete soul-less inertia and lack of motivation to do anything but ruminate and push through thoughts and brooding nests of emotion, I can be shoved rudely off course in my lane of what constitutes a 'stable' period of time by sensory issues smashing through the roof of my processing, over time I am learning where things begin and collide in my net of mental problems, so for me it's always a combination of sources that can contribute to me falling into a state of 'catatonia'-lite for a while, I know a third of it is due to recharging from demands of being 'sane' enough to not be carted off to an asylum, and sensory issues are part of what drains my batteries. Sometimes I don't even eat or leave the bed until I've found the motivation to work through whatever has knocked me back. The sensory aspects can take me a long time to recognize just how much of a punch they've delivered me and see that they've stirred up the beehive, so I recoil and feel the effects through a magnifying glass regularly, which is why white noise and sunglasses are as nourishing to me as air is to a pelican or whatever else

Well when I feel overwhelmed I'll stop moving for a second and my brain will go blank it's kindve scary and I feel crazy
