Tips to make life easier

Els

Hey there!

I struggle to communicate my feelings and go about day to day life. I am very high functioning but sometimes things can get overwhelming. Is there anything you do or items you have to make life a bit easier?

For example, I had Loop earplugs for when I’m out shopping or just in public (I am in the middle of ordering new ones since I lost one of the earplugs Disappointed) 

Also, when I’m too overwhelmed, I tend to find it easier to write my thoughts and feelings down for the other person to help. 

Anything else?

  • Hi, I struggle with feeling overwhelmed too and I find that complete silence is what I need. Any noise jars me. However, there are times when listening to a favourite song (usually repeatedly!) helps me. Also, word puzzles get me focused instead of thinking too much and feeling anxious. Those usually work for me Grinning
