Sensory overload

My whole life I experience it and subconsciously just vanish, leave the place whenever I feel it hit the maximum I can take from the outside. Usually without any excuse or explanation. Now things are more complicated because I have a child toddler and I can’t just leave not caring about anything, so I use earplugs. My second best friends are sunglasses, I usually wear them outside or indoors in public places such as shopping mall. In fact having them on is also a bit annoying but at least the lights don’t hurt my eyes and I can relax muscles of my face. It also saves me from eye contact and headaches. This is how I deal with it. Sometimes people stare at me or even laugh but I don’t care much. Long time ago my cousin laughed at me wearing sunglasses indoors and I got ashamed and took them off. Now I don’t do it anymore. I know that I’m not crazy or exaggerating, I’m just sensitive. 

everything you have said is like me, i also cant run away from sensory overload as i have a young toddler son so i cant just escape a place, sunglasses have helped me and saved me loads, i find eye contact painful and im hyper sensitive to lights and sounds, so everywhere i go i wear sunglasses. i dont care about others because the way i see it is that will i see them again never, places like the gym i also wear and dont care because im getting on with my day
