Is what im experiencing SPD?
Recently I was at the doctor and my mom brought up my aversion to chewing noise and other sensory sensitivities. My doctor said what I might deal with is spd. But as of right now I can't afford a diagnosis so I just want to know how I can tackle these problems.
As early as I can remember the sound of people chewing can send me into like a severe fight or flight state. Like I feel like I'm in genuine danger, I get irrationally angry or I cry. If im exposed to the noise for too long it can take me a long time to calm down and i start to zone put or dissociate because my brain just cant handle it. I also hate slurping noise and especially toilet flushing 😭
I hate people touching I can't stand it. whenever someone touches me It feels like their trying to merge our bodies together (I don't know how to explain it). I have to wear socks, crumbs of any sort can not touch my feet especially when their wet.
More often than not my hands will get really sensitive out of nowhere and I can't touch anything. I have an extremely low pain tolerance and tolerance for noise in general. I have a horrible sense of direction and bad coordination. To this day I mix up my right and left 💔.
For more context I am clinically diagnosed with Anxiety and ocd. I'm not sure if there's any comorbidity there.
Any advice helps
