sensory issues

Hi

I have noticed recently that my sensory issues are a lot worse in the morning, especially with sound. My wife's daily conference call is grating to the ears, I have to often ask her to speak softer, when someone comes downstairs and turns on the lights I have a spike of irritation, I keep noticing small sounds that I don't normally hear like the ceiling fan etc.

Does anyone else have this issue? Why does it happen? Is it normal?

Fwiw I am recently self-diagnosed and working on getting my formal diagnosis but money is tight and I have enough issues as is.

  • Mine tends to be first thing in the morning, my wife gets up before me and likes to put the tv and radio on and then whistle loudly. I have to put on noise cancelling earphones. If I’ve been out and had to cope with other people then I can spike quite easily. Went to our village pub and there were scented candles lit on the bar, felt sick and then could feel myself getting overwhelmed.
