Sensory Overload: Can Anyone Relate?

I haven’t been diagnosed with anything directly about a sensitivity to sensory stimulation. But I feel like something is off. I can’t stand certain colors together, textures of fabric, food, the feel of rain. It all makes me feel like curling up and screaming. Is that anything anyone can relate to?

Absolutely, I used to literally curl up and scream any time someone "squeaked" a paper towel, now I just violently cringe and just feel the pain. I'm also working on an Autism diagnosis.

yep, for me it’s related to being autistic! i have a friend who has ocd-related issues like this! my advice would be trying to make things in your life more accessible and try to pre-plan for your needs!
