On real hypersensitivity

People don't realize being hypersensitive is not exactly about "this place is too loud" or "that's too much at once". That's just the simplified version of what happens.

It's about standing in a public place and a band is playing and you have to listen to the band since you can't just close your ears and you also notice how there is a group of three older man who seem to be lost and that mother with her child who dropped her plushie while her husband asks of she wants to go eat icecream and the woman next to you is ordering a coffee and several people are dancing and your mom is standing next to you and asks you a question, and you think about that question while you think simultaneously about if you should pick up that child's plushie or tell the men that this is not the place they were looking for and also how you wanted to go to the new coffee shop across the street, while you also have to lead the way and think about what bus to take. This, every second standing there, with hardly a pause. And there is NO WAY to block out any of this.

That's the whole point of hypersensitivity. All of this is getting in your head at once and that's just too much for a longer time. In an hour, you will probably still remember the colours of that three old men's t shirts. It's too much not because we are weak, but because we have no filter in our brains.

I don't want to be a productive member of society. I want to make my art, play my games, and rest. Every little thing overwhelms me.

Having to get up everyday and maintain my body is exhausting.

Maintaining relationships is exhausting.

Having to get up and work while looking presentable is exhausting.

I'm so tired of being demanded of anything and everything. And I know I probably won't be able to rest until I'm either old and senile or dead.

I didn't ask for this, yet here I am...Slowly rotting away. There's no time to truly enjoy life, work, and be both physically and mentally healthy simultaneously, for the majority of your time.

I just want to get out of here and find true joy.

Lol so yesterday my sister and her husband came to visit and when we were discussing dinner and trying to figure out if the restaurant my BIL wanted to get a cheesesteak from would deliver, my sister suggested that we get in the car and head over and take a look.

I did a legit doubletake because my brain couldn't fathom that people can just go places and the whole world is full of people who leave their house and go some place every day.

Like I don't drive and with light sensitivity issues and chronic pain I usually just send my husband out or we order things (bc we are high).

But she was sober so she offered to go pick it up.

I'm so jealous in some way. I wish I could go out in the world and feel like its okay for me to be there. Like I have a right to exist in public.

If you’re someone who has sensory issues and you still take your vitamins/meds even if it’s a bad day and you can barely get them down:

I see you and I acknowledge how hard it is. I’m really proud of you 💕

✨✨✨This is an oldie from 2018, but I still like it. Whilst there are many differences between autistic people, and sensitivities vary, I think all us are hypersensitive to at least some sounds, sights, smells, tastes or touches.

This is definitely a disability in our current day world, but it can also be so beautiful, because you can enjoy subtlety so much and can completely forget yourself just by eating berries or looking at a beautiful flower. It's easy to loose sight of the advantages of super sensitive senses, but I think we should remember and celebrate ✨✨✨

Earring Journal 10/6/22

we have sensory issues and we never would wear earings grow up. they felt uncomfortable and heavy. But we want to start wearing earrings now so we're practicing wearing the for short periods of time and then going up with the periods of time until we can wear them all day or most of the day. this is our jounral for the 2nd tile we wore earrings in about 5 years.

○ wearing small cute light earrings.

○ we can feel them in our ears. they feel semi heavy

○ hyper aware of our earrings in our ears..

○ ears feel slightly uncomfortable.

○ distracted by conversation and activities of rehab specialist contact.

○ got home, and took the earrings out. We wore them for around 3 hours. Mission accomplished

Funny how are people who declare themselves "highly sensitive" are absolutely indifferent to your needs and personal boundaries and are fully concentrating on themseves.

My rat has more empathy then some people.

Fellow NDs, I gotta ask:

IS there anything that can be done to somehow train yourself to be less stunned and annoyed in a “my day is ruined” way when plans suddenly change? As someone whose kid constantly brings a cold from kindergarten, I have to postpone SO MANY plans, all the time, and I’m annoyed by my brain’s immediate reaction.

(I already take atomoxetine to help with my ADHD but the jury is still out if I’m hypersensitive or autistic on top of that, but either way: some strategies would be nice.)

[im-a-crumpled-up-piece-of-paper]

sometimes i dont want to feel what someone else is going through. i dont want to be vulnerable. i dont want to feel overwhelmed by my thoughts. i dont want to cry at everything. i dont want to feel weak. i didnt realise hypersensitivity would be this hard.

[trashandwriting]

When people find out you're an hsp they be like "oh so you cry a lot?" and we're always so offended like "nah that's just a prejudice" when in fact we do. cry a lot. We do cry a lot. I cry like every third night and still be offended. Because thats just how it is, I'm not dramatic, I'm just crying bro. Also; you're an hsp and don't cry a lot? Go see a therapy about that repression

Is there a term to describe people with "trauma" who don't know if theirs even constitutes as trauma? And if it is, then it's not as bad as it could've been? Like instead of having drug dealing parents who beat you into a concussion weekly, you had parents who never seemed to quite be proud of you, parents who had a clear favorite, could be considered abusive to certain degrees but verbally abusive more often than physically? What about the guilt that comes with it? I would like to know for several purposes...

I wonder how people without anxiety feel like. What do you think when you go on a trip to a city in a foreign country on your own? Are you imagining worst case szenarios as well? Are you researching every miniscule information about the hostel, the location, the public transportation so you don't embarrass yourself or have an anxiety attack in public? Does your skin crawl? Does your stomach twist with nerves? Does your breath loose its way in your chest?

i always say that there kinda Is a sliding scale with types of autism (observationally), and the best way i’ve been able to describe it is “hypo” (lack of temp/pain sensitivity, nonverbal/less verbal, hypoemotional) and “hyper” (more texture etc sensitivities, more verbal, more overt stims, more emotional)

anyways just came to the epiphany that sliding scale of Autism Characters Of All Time can actually kinda be represented between spock and dale cooper

#star trek #twin peaks #star trek tos #spock had always been an autism stereotype. and real. he’s just like me fr #but dale cooper is also. yeah. more like me when im more on my adhd bs (probably masking) but like #a lot of the autistic people i tend to know esp. irl are more on the ‘hyper’ side #whereas like. i remember telling another autistic person recently that i had no texture or whatever sensitivities recently #and they were like ‘lucky’ bc fr yeah that’s fair. but also. i have very little temp (a bit more now) and esp. pain sensitivity #like i literally do the spock thing of ‘pain is all in the mind’ and just. Stop feeling it JDJSKGJMSJFJSJE #anyways #mandont
