Sensory: ear defenders, bright lights, smells and textures

Hi, I would like people's help on stopping my sensory problems keeping me in the house.

I feel like I am overwhelmed and sickened by everything mentioned in the topic bar, and my head hurts constantly.  

At at this moment, the tv is on, the washer is on, and I live next to a busy road, and I can't hear any of it without feeling sick and crushed.

If I taste certain things, or smell something's, I am sick and can't function.

I I am in a supermarket, I feel like I have had a drug, and feel overwhelmed.

I would like to know about other people's ways of coping with these things.  I'm also 31, so need adult sized and descrete ear defenders, if they are out there?

I tell the doctors about these problems, and have never had any help, so hope this community can.

Thank you in advance

Michael

    You can get these in different types and costs. I use audio technica quietpoint in-ear earbuds. These make a real difference and at around £50 are not too expensive. 

    You can either use them with or without music. I find that my own choice of music or a pod-cast or audiobook can really shut the world out.
