Sensory overload. Can anyone relate?

Hi all.

This morning I went with my family for breakfast and met my mum and dad. We then went in the amusement arcade with the children (which I hate due to the noise, lights, people etc etc. ) in total we were out 3 hours.

I am now in my bedroom with the curtains closed and laying on my bed but the vibrations and noises still feel like they are surrounding me.  I feel like my body is still anxious and I can't shut it off. I hate this feeling. Can anyone relate?

  • My best friend got access to work to assess his workplace for reasonable adaptions for his ADHD.  Not only did they do big computer things with specialist software they got screens around his desk in an open plan office. Best of all was training for senior management about hidden disabilities because they had been trying to say he didn't need any reasonable adjustment and it was all in his head. They were told their disability positive rating was going to be removed if they didn't start thinking a bit more about hidden disabilities!
