Managing Pain with Over/Understimulation

When my pain is bad I find removing things that generally would be fine but are stimulating ie. Background noise around the house.

You can get weighted blankets that are cooling (I have a summer and winter one)

i use weighted blankets, familiar music at a moderate volume/way too loud to be good, reading things that interest me, rewatching comforting youtube videos, mobies, or tv shows (the repeated familiarity is so nothing is shocking or new to avoid being too stimulating), etc. i also really like spinning to help stimulate myself/wind myself down

I use a combination of techniques - there's the obvious one 'do something absorbing' like reading or a computer game or video series; I reframe the pain as an interesting sensation just like other interesting sensations; or I've had some success with visualisations, which can seem quite silly, but visualising a bunch of firefighters or inspection staff on a little UFO that goes and deals with the painful area works surprisingly well for me.
