Feeling sick after going out/getting overstimulated

hii, I'm wondering if anyone else experiences things like this?

I've noticed I often feel this way after being out for a while and getting overstimulated, and sometimes it feels worse than others depending how long I was out or how overstimulated I got.

Like yesterday, I had to go out to do some stuff, but I think I overdid it or idk. It was also kind of my fault bc i didn't bring my sunglasses or noise cancelling headphones, as I thought I wouldn't need them. But after sensory overload, I got home feeling like shit. My throat felt sore, I didn't wanna talk, I had a bad headache, I was irritable, really tired and even my body ached.

I've noticed this happens to me when I reach that point, it usually doesn't get that bad and goes away the same day once I've been able to rest. But I didn't end up feeling better til today (the next day) and even now my headache has returned.

I've also noticed that I've become more intolerant to sensory input than ever before in the last year or two (also, I barely got formally diagnosed two months ago, so trying to understand and navigate this is quite new to me, I'm 22). Things that I used to seek out (nice perfume smells for example) or things I could tolerate for longer have now become intolerable.

sorry, I don't really know anyone else with AuDHD irl, so I think I just would like to discuss this with ppl who understand

have a nice day ☀️

I'm tired of my brain

​

Sorry, I just need to vent. I'm just so tired of it. It's so loud all the time. Thoughts always running through it, loud ones, mean ones. I overthink EVERYTHING, overanalyze every little detail of everything. I overthink to the point of causing myself feelings of anxiety and sometimes I even make myself cry.

I can identify this happening, and sometimes I'm able to snap myself out of it, but other times I'm just too tired to fight against it or sometimes it just all sounds too real. I don't know. I'm just tired of my brain and my thoughts, and often I tell it both mentally and out loud to shut up.

I often feel alone and alienated from most people. Sometimes I just want a hug and to be told it's okay. I think summer just makes it all worse tbh. It's too hot to go outside earlier than 6 pm unless it's at most 7am but then I can't wake up early bc my brain keeps me up at night. My head hurts from the noise :(

Oh I'm also tired of feeling SO INTENSELY. Like why. Every little thing is either the best thing ever or I want to cry and hide away. Why must everything feel so much.

I'm tired

Feel free to vent as well in the comments, sometimes it's nice to just know we're not as alone as we think.

help ID please?

I would really appreciate some help to ID this plush.

My friend's plushy got destroyed by a dog, it was really important to him and he had it since he was like three :(

He was purchased around 2004 in the US if that helps. He also has no tags :(

Any information would help! Or if you guys know any good restoration places in the US, that'd be good too.

Tysm in advance, my friend is devastated 😭

How to get more storage on Surface Laptop Go 2?

I feel like I hardly have anything downloaded, I clean up my files often and keep most things saved externally. I'm wondering if there's a way to upgrade or clear up more space? :(

Also I know very basic things about tech and tech language so 😭 I've been trying to research but it's hard to understand
