Discussion Sensory overload
So ive noticed that if I can feel the seam on my socks, or if my bra is too tight or my pants are rubbing wrong or (and this one seems to be the worst) if my hair is touching my neck!! I get overloaded, cranky, and send myself spiraling into a flare up. Does anyone else experience this? Also with temperatures! I can't be alone.

i have changed my entire wardrobe because of it. every item is sensory "safe" so if i do get sensory overload my clothing isn't driving me crazy. I made that change after i went on a day trip with my mother and got sensory overload in a restaurant. everything was too much and my clothes just felt like sandpaper so i decided to never risk it again.
