What is sensory overload? Is it like that thing where you have to turn the volume down in the car when trying to park?
Personally for me being exposed to a lot of noises for a long time and not being able to escape from them causes the stress to build up and become very easly irritable, angry, and sensitive to everything. I'm curious how others experience it.
Yes and it sucks when you live below loud neighbors that are constantly making noise, stomping, and yelling at each other and you can't escape because you're in your own home.
A little. Though it's more when you become hypersensitive for short periods. I sometimes find in restaurants or situations where I'm feeling a little anxious that everything will be so much louder and over stimulating as my senses sort of go into overdrive with my surroundings. I usually chuck in ear plugs or nip outside for 5 minutes. But this usually goes away after 10-20 minutes or so.
