I surly can relate to this as well. From you post on my thread, you get over stimulated easily to. Do the stores and all the people, music on bother you? Sometimes when If I go to a store when I can tell that me sensitivity is up I will sometimes leave with my brain feeling like it is buzzing away and in a vice grip or crushing in. 2 hours ago, Paquita said: So atleast that's positve. We really do need to focus on any little positive improvement don't we. It is so easy to get sucked down the rabbit hole at times. Thank Goodness for the windows that show us that we can reach sanity again.
