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 ☀️
