Tips on how to calm down overstimulation? How do you manage?
Hello and Help!
I am currently sitting in my dark bedroom under the blanket while my friends have a murder mystery dinner next door. I had a long day with a lot of unforseen changes and I am just so done - I can't participate. I think its overstimulation, but before I got diagnosed these feelings were classified as panic attacks.
My head feels hot and feverish my body feels like my nerves are constantly under tension. I am shaking and I am nauseous and I just feel in pain so badly.
I used to have this feeling in this extreme more often but I try to avoid getting overstimulated in the first place since my diagnosis. Its just not always possible.
What do you do to calm yourself down?
When I am overstimulated "normally" I just go into a dark quiet room and rest, I feel sick but I CAN rest. This one now I can't rest, I feel more actively sick. I am shaking and I just puked. Do you experience overstimulation as bad too?
What do you do to calm down, this is unbearable.
