Why do I feel overstimulated all the time these days...and people in the general public like to call me "high-functioning"...please stop calling me that, because I'm NOT. I'm BARELY functioning these days, everything is too much, too stressful, too overwhelming...don't like it. If I don't have my phone and noise-cancelling headphones with me at all times I WILL have a meltdown and that's not good for anyone involved with me. I NEED my headphones to protect my sensitive ears, which are even more sensitive now. I have a backpack with various fidget toys in it that I take with me when I go out to appointments and stuff like that to help ease my anxiety but I still feel overwhelmed all the time. I don't know what to do about it...oh well, I see my psychiatrist tomorrow so I guess I can ask her about what I should do. Hopefully she'll be able to help me out.
