Overstimmed - December 11th 2024, 02:56 PM

Okay, I have a issue.

I get overstimmed really easily, more easily then my friends who are diagnosed with ADHD.

My doctor thinks I have Autism or ADHD apparently.

But yesterday I got so overstimulated I didn't really know how to talk properly and I got really nauseous. Is that normal?

I have a fidget necklace that helps calm me down sometimes.

Yesterday when I was overstimmed my friend kept asking me if I was okay and I kept saying no and at one point he looked me dead in the face and said "Are you crying?" and though my eyes were tearing up I said no.

I also get really overstimulated when it comes to food.

The textures drive me crazy, so I've developed an ED because of it, and even though I don't exactly know when I'm hungry, I'm okay with that.

People think I'm just trying to starve myself, but I'm not, it's just I don't know when I'm hungry and even if I eat I can't deal with the textures.

I don't know whether I should talk to my teacher who supported me yesterday about it or not. Just that issue alone made me gain a lot of trust in her.

I also can't read big paragraphs so I wrote this the way I did.

If I wrote it like a normal person did I would get really overwhelmed and start crying because of it because I physically couldn't read it.

Should I talk to a teacher/Guidance counselor about this?

I don't like my guidance counselors so I'd rather speak to the teacher who assisted me yesterday when I got overstimulated
