:bear_love: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos 💜
Being sensitive to many things can be very challenging. I'm sentitive to sounds, to light, to certain smells, and to texture of food in my mouth and fabrics on my skin. I also hate showers and rain, my skin does not enjoy that either...
It's also hard at times to be sensitive, as it's difficult for less sensitive people to understand the difficulty you deal with when the senses get too much stimulus.
Sound and light can both give me a headache that makes me the grumpiest person alive. It can make me need to blacken the room, lay down on the couch, and take meds to calm me...
Living alone has been a kind of a blessing, at some points. No one complains that the TV isn't loud enough, no one complains that the room is top dark... Just me and Arwen, and she doesn't mind...
It's so hard to explain why I can't have the TV more loudly, why I need the lights off and curtains drawn shut, why I need the darkest sunglasses when the sun isn't even "fully out".
The number of times I've heard the "joke" of "take down the sunglasses, you're scaring away the sun" when I was wearing it while it was raining... Such fun! I *need* the sunglasses to not get a headache that splits open my skull. I *need* the sunglasses so I don't turn into a major cranky asshat..... Believe me, I *hate* always needing them!!!
(maybe also a reason why I do better in the night? Less lights and less sounds....)
So yeah, I *want* to have my curtains open. I *want* to enjoy the sounds of the game or movie or series or songs... But I have my limitations that I need in order to not get overwhelmed by these stimulus issues... 😔 And that's hard for some folks to understand...
That's why I'm sharing this... I guess? 😂 It just came up to me and I started writing. AuDHD anyone? 😉

I love how someone can unearth and retoot an old post of mine and it reminds me that I still haven’t found the thing I was searching for over a year ago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve basically given up on my quest to find a comfy bralette, but who knows; maybe something new has been developed since I last searched.

Wow, I’m really feeling it today.
And by “it” I mean the tag on the side of my shirt that hits right where my waistband sits. :welp:#ADHD #ADHDMemes #NeuroDivergent #NeuroDiverse #AuDHD #SensitivityIssues #Fashion
