I feel the same way. I read you post and immediatly could relate. I’ve also noticed my extreme sensitivity to noise, taste, smell, etc…
Earplugs are the only way I can sleep, something that smells funny aggrevates me beyond belief, street noises feel like an assult. Girl. I hear you!
I have no idea what the solution is for managing the assault-like incoming external stimuli. I’ve had ADHD for 30 years, and only over the last few months have I noticed my increased sensitivity. For me, if I wake up in a foul mood, I’ll put on my favorite song as loud as I can and rock out. That sometimes helps. Often if I do that, and head outside for a breath of fresh air which helps me quite a bit.
I’m sure this is something other people are experiencing, hopefully people can offer their advice or suggestions. How long have you been experiencing this hypersensitivity to external stimuli?
Wish there was a MEDITATION RETREAT centre just for people with ADHD. Oh man. That would be amazing. Ear plugs and sound machines galore
