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?

  • I agree with our friends below, word puzzles or online puzzles to calm brain activity, earplugs, including ANC EarPods and ear defenders as used by the construction industry.  Also going out when its quiet times, shopping early as soon as shop open or early evening between 6 and 7, or getting online delivery. Sleep and sitting quietly with calming music also helps; we definitely need to accept that we need quiet time to ourselves, so don't be afraid to look after yourself and seek quiet time. Take care
