Dear fellow ADHD/AuDHD comrades, How do you deal with sensory overstimulation? Do you take any medication, or do you have techniques that help you calm down quickly? My biggest issue right now is anxiety caused by overstimulation, and honestly, I don’t know how to find a quick way to calm myself down and feel more at ease.

Hello my friend, it's been a few days since your post so I hope you are doing a little better! I too have to deal with sensory issues and overstimulation, especially if something has been troubeling my mind or is at unease. I then become sensitive to temperature, I get itches from my clothes, my teeth are tingling ... But to find helpful skills that work for you I'd like you to identify the most prominent "triggers" of what is causing u overstimulation and then either find a way to cope or avoid it until you're more mentally prepared to withstand it. I was guessing into the blue but we could have a chat about that here if you like 😇👋
