What do YOU do when you get over/understimulated? (1 Viewer)

[Day]

Mine tends to be with music. I get understimulated without some sort of background noise that keeps me comfy or I get overwhelmed because my usual music is playing but other things are happening around it. It sounds so weird but I struggle without music but othertimes my music on top of everything makes me more stressed out.

It makes sense to me - not weird - because I've experienced those feelings too. It's really hard to find a balance, especially when you're so busy trying to prioritize yourself that sometimes you jump from one side of the spectrum to the other or head into meltdown territory.

I also assume then this is an issue that can't be fixed with medication or something like that

Adding onto this, not everyone has health insurance or PCP's. Medication is a luxury that not everyone is privy to

NOT to mention ADHD meds can be fucking expensive as all hell. But other disorders or disabilities deal with over/understimulation not just ADHD. But that is how it relates to me.

oh shit that last part was more meant for @Selfmate since they didn't know what the terms meant and how they effect people.

Yes. ADHD is a son of a bitch and not silly like some people like to make it out to be. There is medication but I think it can only do so much and also I am personally and medically not allowed to take the medications because they drastically effected me.

so there is medication to help but you can't take it since the side effects are too much huh?
dang kudos for winning the generic lottery lol

that's right you guys don't have universal health care - that sucks
recently my son got an infection
looked around found a doctor (since my regular doctor was on holidays) in a day - went to see them - free since children don't pay to see doctors
medication was less than $10 AUD lol

you guys should come to australia!!! we have issues but sounds a whole lot better than over there!!!
