I think I'm getting sensory overwhelm more often

TheCatWoman

I don't know if its an age thing or what, but I'm becoming much more sensitive to noise over the last few months. I wonder if it's because the weather has been better and people are out and about more, but it's really getting to me.

The other thing I'm getting more sensitive too is smell, I walked past a fish and chop shop earlier and was almost sick at the smell of hot oil and vinegar that came out at me. The other day I had to leave a shop because somebody had really strong perfume or aftershave on, it made my breathe catch in my throat.

How do you cope? I can't wear headphones as it triggers my PTSD.

  • There is this Science behind Human Frequency. Which could explain how people could receive a random electric shock. Happened me, a few times. Even happend Victor Meldrew, in a 'One Foot in the Grave' episode from 1991/92 where he was stuck in August Bank Holiday Traffic; on a Motorway. His used Honda gave him shocks.

    Yesterday, I volunteered for an hour, at the local ASDA, at a Charity-Donation table. Got overwhlemed, all evening, afterwards. And I didn't get up, today, until 1:45 pm. Though downing a four-pack of Tenzing Energy Drink, bought at that ASDA, didn't help matters.
