I successfully showered. Next get dressed and hair. Then I must retrive my art stuff from my locker at university. For some reason writing here it is helping me to focus since someones lawnmower is so loud and i cant think or focus. So f ing stressful. Noise really stresses me out and disorients me. I was in a store yesterday and rhe music was so loud, I literally had to grab the thing and I couldnt even think about what else i needed and ran out as soon as i could. Thats what I call a sales fail. The goal is to encourage people to feel like staying not disorienting them into escape.

Sound sensitivity can have such an effect on daily living. I can not stay in shops that keep the music so loud. Good job getting the shower accomplished! Well done you!
Celebrate all successes. Baby steps are steps too!

@Idnew honestly it feels like a huge accomplishment :stuck_out_tongue: The baby steps do matter, I had breakfast, ran into my friend and we were going through similar stuff, had some laughs, and now Im actually on my way to university to get the stuff. I have today off so I think I really need to sit by the water today and maybe just enjoy it. Thank you for your lovely comment.

It took me a while to realize that overstimulation was a thing I was experiencing. I honestly just thought I was stupid for the longest time. But auditory overload is absolutely a thing, and makes it impossible to process anything. It doesn't help that there is so much stimulation almost everywhere you go. But you got yourself ready, you went out there, and you also focused and made a really good post, so I congratulate you on your resolution and effort. Enjoy the calming water <3

@BeauRaven nope you’re perfectly smart. :slight_smile: Yeah, I ended up sitting in a café, it’s boiling out there. Crowds and crowds of people by the water, so I basically got out of there. Too much noise, too many people… in the cafe it was mostly empty so I was drawing for a bit but even there too much. Now in a park… theres cars and stuff but at least no individual voices. Theres a breeze. Im trying to just sit. Some birds playing with eachother. A butterfly oddly interested in a blank lamp post. :stuck_out_tongue: And my thoughts which somehow always land on my dislike of men. And yea I know it’s my lonely brain speaking, but there it is. I have so much anger today for some reason. Weird because yesterday I watchrd hours of a kdrama called Mr.Queen and it almost restored my faith in men lol Today is a crazy day.
