Not sure if this is the right community for this. If not, I'll nuke it. Just looking for somewhere that isn't world or ml now that autism.place is gone.

The other day, my mind decided to let me smell the entire fucking universe all at once for the whole day. I literally almost broke down on the train to school because there was too much going on. Yeah, I don’t think I’ve recovered yet and probably won’t because it’s finals week…
i can relate to this. i can hear the electricity coursing thru the walls. lately it's been so loud that it keeps me up at night. no one else hears it, but i do.
i had to flip the breaker to the bedroom to quiet it down enough to sleep.
Yeah, sensory overwhelm is definitely a thing; I'm pretty sensitive to light in my bedroom overnight, and then when I wake up I forget to draw up the blinds to let light in (and stop mould etc.). Huge draw on my spoons but it's also what I need to do to stay functional.
