This is something I struggle with, especially when I'm tired or stressed. Many people on the autism spectrum have probably been in the same situation where they've had their hearing tested several times at the doctors, but now that I'm older I just get referred do as a ditsy daydreamer. I've had problems in the past where my anxiety gets worse and getting to work in the morning can be very difficult because I'll 'forget' I'm getting ready for work. I'll go to wash my face in the bathroom and then end up inspecting my face for spots, dry skin etc, which will take 10 minutes and I'll not realise I'm doing it.
I used to have a quiet, clear area, where I could relax, but after moving cities and temporarily living with all my belongings shoved in one bedroom I don't have that relaxation anymore. It's making me late for work most days. I always have times where someone is talking at me but I don't realise they are then get a fright when I notice them.
Can anyone recommend relaxing things they do to try and quiet their head? With the heightened sense it also gives me very vivid dreams. Every night. And it's all complete nonsense. It's getting a bit much but I don't really know what to do or go that will help without the calm of a clear dimly lit room.
Any ideas? Or, am I just rambling?
