Does anyone else with anxiety get that thing where you just want everything to be quiet and when it’s not, you just get really agitated, and people’s voices just start driving you insane?

YES IT’S CALLED SENSORY OVERLOAD

[joshsbackflip-deactivated201606]

sensory overload isn’t just from being in a loud environment, it can also come from being touched or any other senses being over-stimulated. i have it sometimes when i’m around a lot of people and if someone even just brushes against me i’ll go completely crazy, even if it’s someone i’m comfortable around because i can’t deal with someone else invading my personal space. it can even get to the point where just the feeling of your clothing against your skin will make you extremely uncomfortable. you can also get sensory overload from looking at bright lights or even smelling something strong if you’re extremely sensitive and it’s commonly associated with anxiety disorders.

shoutout to george, fred, and especially ron weasley for realizing that harry was stuck in abusive and unhealthy household and, in spite of the massive trouble they knew they could get in, taking immediate steps to personally see him removed from that environment, something no adult in harry’s life did.

I think my favorite thing about this is that he genuinely meant it.  He wasn’t crushing on her and thinking, “Oh, I’m this nice guy and her friend and why won’t she sleep with me?”  He just genuinely thought, “She’s a great person, she deserves to be happy,” and slowly realized, “Oh, she could be the great person for me. If it makes her happy.”

a good thing to do for your friends with anxiety disorders: if you have a question you need to ask them or something you need to tell them, explain the subject of the question/the statement in the same message as your opening one!

so basically: instead of saying “can i ask you a question?” and sending just that (which, as a person with an anxiety disorder, makes my anxiety go into hyperdrive) go “can i ask you a question about ___?”

it’s a little thing but honestly few things make me anxious like “i have a question for you” or “there’s something i need to tell you” without immediate explanation. thanks!
