Sensory issues worsening with age?

Wordsmith

My wife and I went shopping in Glasgow this morning, and after the first two shops I had to stay outside – the noise and particularly the visual overload was simply overwhelming. As we talked about it later, we realized that five years ago I could have coped much better. Has anyone else noticed their sensory problems getting worse as you get older?

  • Yep I feel this!


    I don't know if it's an ageing-related thing or just a combo of factors like stress, lack of sleep, burnout... but I can fully relate!

    I used to be able to go food shopping/clothes shopping no trouble, now it has to be a really quick visit as I find the bright lights, noises, and people around just too much to cope with. I really try to picture being stuck in a bubble where nothing can affect me, but that doesn't really work as well anymore.
