Heightened awareness

I'm aware when I'm tired lots of different things can be tiring or overwhelming, that's normal for me. Every now and then though, I get a weird day, like today, where I feel like someone turned the controls up on all my senses, colours are more intense, the sun was nice on my skin but too bright, every sound is going into my head. I don't know why this happens or if its a trigger from something?  Does anyone else have this?

  • The brightness thing in particular is way too much for me this week. Some gentle sunlight coming through a window: nice. Going out into the LIIIIIIIIIGHT - blinding and painful. I'm even wearing subglasses at my office desk, which is not even near a window. Spring sunshine is maybe the worst: it feels so raw somehow.
