I still cannot get over the fact that yesterday, not only was I having an overstimulation problem and didn't notice it until my hands felt weird, but halfway through I figured sone food might help...
Cut to five hours later when my mom was cooking...
"Hey MJ, why is there a burrito in the microwave?"
... Yeah i completely forgot about the food I had heated up.
#adhd is fun#actuallyadhd#my brain was fried for a bit#thanks to too many loud noises happening over several hours#and yeah ive figured out when it gets too bad my hands feel like what tv static looks like#ive also described it as feeling like theyre full of sand#because they feel grainy and heavy#sensory problems suck#yet it happened so gradually i didnt realize it was happening. i just thought i was stressed until i noticed the sensation in my hands#thankfully my neighbors/their dogs werent being too loud while I was recovering from it#so all i could hear was my ceiling fan and someone using a leafblower a few houses away. Nine tried to cuddle a bit while I was laying there#she took a nap right next to my legs which was sweet of her. i could feel her resting against me#but I'm okay now. it took a bit extra time after resting for my sensory tolerance to get back to normal. i did get my new laptop set up#its super great but maybe i have low standards considering what i started with#i actually had to throttle the fps on the game i was playing because they were much higher and made everything feel kinda blurry#which triggered eyestrain which wasnt going to happen#but it runs so well! i didnt have to reduce graphic quality anywhere near what I'm used to so thats great#and this was the cheapest gaming laptop i found#so I'm happy with it
