I am having a VERY BAD sensory overload day, and I am having a hard time getting through it. This video helps a lot. Just hearing your voice and heating you talk about the things that help you, really helps me. I don't know what to do to help me, but watching this video makes me feel better. I know that I'm not alone. Thank you.
I still don’t know how to cope with sensory overload. I get it a lot.... most days I wake up and can’t deal with any input. Anybody here in a similar situation?
Music helps me alot. Its like...a way to express myself to myself through someone else. Or if it's me making the music then its even better cuz one can express themselves through themselves for themselves. I cherish the gift of being able to make the music I most identify with. Playing guitar is an important stim for me. I get overly anxious and even depressed when I'm deprived of the ability to do it.
I found this video so helpful and can relate so much and I don’t know what I would do without your channel.Also can you please do a video on how to cope with loud noises because I am 12 and I need a video on this.
i stuck cotton in my ears to hear everything less loud and muffled when i'm not using my brother's bluetooth headphones no longer working, who work very well as sound canceling headphones. if you don't have or don't use sound canceling headphones everyday, you can't try that if you want. it's not the best but it's better than hearing everything raw and noisy (sorry for my weird english)
I just recently started feeling this and went to the doctor. Turns out it’s caused from anxiety (for me) so it’s basically like an anxiety attack. I’ve been looking for ways to deal with it. The feeling is so weird it’s like I’m on drugs. Now I know how to deal with it thank you!
Your. Dog. Is. Wonderful! 😍 He gives hugs! Thank you for the video, it is also calmer then your others, (which I like 😉) I'm off for a chilling tea, and cuddles with my bunbun 🍵🐰☺️
I just got out of a situation that made my brain shut the rest of the world out so my brain hates information a lot of the time. It doesn’t help that I have to start my coping mechanisms again from scratch. This video really helps
My bunny died yesterday and I'm having a bad time I'm stressed and felling like I'm being pushed to a meltdown this video really helped I'm going to have a nice bubbel bath with a bath bomb and candel and watch TH-cam witch helps xx
Chole, I so needed this today:). I am not Autistic, but today is kind of a "Yuck Day" for me and we all have them. I so LOVE your Dog, Matilda and your Cat Biscuit:)!! I LOVE to cuddle my Cat, Mr. Spratt and Mr. Spratt is really an adorable, loving gentleman cat:)!! Chole, I so LOVE your Bunny Mug too:)!! I too drink Almond Milk because I can not digest actual Cow's Milk at all. Yes, your video has some important for tips on finding relaxation and peace for a bad day as well as for anxiety. I also like to listen to music from Louis Tomlinson to Elton John to David Lanz to 2002, to David Wahler to David Mauk to Richard Burmer, and more to relax and feel better:). Writing in a journal, drawing, watching fun T.V. shows, and definitely being with animals are key for cheering up as much as calming down:)!! I like to watch recordings on my Boyfriend's DVR of The Brady Bunch and Peyo's 1980s Smurfs Cartoons:)!! Thank you Chole for sharing these really good tips:)!!
Turns out I do this stuff without even knowing it's my "calm down" ritual :) Though for me my "calm" music is metal and fresh air is my way of flushing through my system as I'm a Pagan. But I find if I'm not doing these things, I'm constantly irritable and on edge...
Thankyou so much for creating a calm and helpful video about such a difficult and personal topic. Most of your video's are fun and energetic, but this calming video is truly great when overload is (almost) occuring. And thanks for the tips, it is just sometimes easier tot be presented with some options than to think of them myself.
I woke up, I was already in a mood. But I tried to ignored it, I touched something that I definitely did not wanted to touch. I start stressing, I could feel the texture in my hands, i got anxious, there’s a lot of noise outside of my house, I’m bawling, I don’t know what to do to calm myself, I’ve never felt it this strong, it’s way more stronger than me. :( this helped, I love you Chloe, you are the reason why I woke up every morning
I got my period really early and it's sent me into sensory yuk like the pain is not that bad compared to my migraines it's just all over and constant and horrible it's half 2 in the morning here in new Zealand and I'm supposed to be up for work at 7 but it's preventing me from sleeping so I'm watching sims videos (New spln woops) and your voice is really helping its so soothing
Hi, I have autism & get sensory overload. So ur vlog was a great help, even tho I do them things already it was good to know I was doing the right things. I even like going into small spaces like a cupboard or a sensory den & putting my sensory lights in there, relaxing music. Do u like any of that? x
I love your channel, and I wish I could live your life. My mom is a sped teacher, yet somehow doesn’t seem to understand that me being autistic actually has an effect on my life. She holds me to the same standards as a neurotypical person and expects me to achieve at the same level as one in the same way as one
This was a really sweet video! I definitely should take care of myself more during these days but they’re just too often and the fact that I have school (which I sometimes need to go to irl) doesn’t help. I know I’ve had sensory overload one too many times on the bus on my way to school and there’s nothing to do about it but try your goshdarn hardest not to break down.
When I get like this I sleep it’s usually about the only thing that helps me and just being alone by myself sometimes it will take hours or even send entire day and yeah I am going to get tested for autism I just have to find a place or someone that is professional that I can go to
my sensory overloads get so bad until the point my teeth bother me, my neck hurts, and even my own fingers rubbing against each other and i wanna know how to cope with me help!
Thank you, this video has been really needed for me & I very much appreciate this. I will be taking your advice ❤️ Also, the music & the tone of this video is perfect I’m just saying! 😄
I read the most amazing novel, "kitchens daughter", or something like that. Anyway the woman in it, both her ma and dad get killed in a car accident, so it's kinda sad, but she is "different", maybe even autistic, she hates being touched and large crowds. When she gets super uncomfortable, she had THE MOST awesome, new ideas to me anyway, of how to distract herself and keep calm-ish......according few of my favs: she is really into and amazing at cooking, so when she's anxious in public, she pictures herself eating say hot sauce. Or something with hot sauce on it, and goes throuh in her mind, how it tsstes, textures, etc. Another is she imagines a sugar cube, in cold water, as if it's in warm, it will dissolve. She is like the sugar cube, she tells herself, not crumbling, staying together and forever strong. The last distraction technique, imagine an unpeeled onion. How you'd cut the top off, and imagine peeling off the skin, then finally layer after layer of the onion inside. Just thought those could maybe help you ...I've already pictured the sugar cube and it's proving to be a great tool.plus it's something u can do INSIDE your own head, that no one will know your doing, so it won't be embarassing, or anything. Good luck, if u try any please let me know how or if they work for you. Hope this helps. Ps I have more and more days where I'll not be able to take ANY MORE noise,I don't know how people binge watch, I am lucky if my sensory overload can handle a 2 hour tv show, some days, even if I mute the commercials, light can bother me too and food textures. It's why I won't eat pasta, I can't do rubbery, slimy foods, etc.
I don't know if I have autism or any sensory processing issues but for some reason some senses, textures mostly, make me super overwhelmed and sometimes anxious. like sometimes finding crumbs/having crumbs on me, always things relating to ice, overwhelming smells (sour cream in looking at you), or being in a really crowded/new place. Most days it isn't bad, and happens very minimally if at all, but sometimes little things like baking or eating something messy can send me into a spiral. I don't have any trouble with social cues or anything like that. I talked to some of my friends and they didn't have it as bad as me or like me and I'm honestly just confused. It's really frustrating sometimes and I wanna know why it happens.
I just ruined my own birthday because i was having an overload day. I woke up and was like "oh no" its like i immediately knew i was going to be very sensitive to input today. I ended up freaking out half way through the day and broke down crying because i ruined a day other people worked really hard to make happy for me.
My best friend(from the internet) goes through sensory overloads and meltdowns and asked me to look up how to help them when that happens but i cant find anything. does anyone have any advice?
One thing I definitely have a problem with is my younger brothers they are always fighting or messing with me so I always go to my basement and just do my nails paint a painting maybe even do some journaling just have some me time
#ChloeHayden Hi Cleo any advice to someone that has a sensory overload and having a clean room helps but they share their bedroom with their sister and her side of the room is a mess. Any advice ❤🐎 Love your videos ❤🐎
I wish I could do these things when it happens in school. I've been overloaded a lot in school lately and I can't do anything about it apart from just lie my head on the desk and curl up and I feel bad about doing that.
Can i suggest starting with a softer tone at first.. I'm here to find help with sensory overload (it's bothering me currently) And starting out fast and full voice is very jarring.
I was about to click a riverdale review animation (by alex meyers) when I accidentally refreshed the homepage and clicked this video instead… not disappointed tho 😂
Eeeek! I'm so sorry, I actually tried to slow this video down and make it a lot more relaxed and chilled out- clearly I still need to work on some things haha! x
I love to my Sweats& my Lazy Soxks& listen to Smooth Jazz& take a Bubble Bath& read Manga& watch anime& Nature videos & play Calming video games & drink My fresh Mink Teas that I grew myself & I used to walk my German Shepherd until her Arthritis got Terrible & now she just Hangs out with me & my Mollys& catfish in there 55 Gallon Aquarium Chole. 💓🐺🐠🐠🐠🐠🛀💓
I noticed that you are left handed and OMG I swear all left handed people all have the same handwriting! My best friend and I are both lefties and our writing is identical to yours!
i dont have autism, but i have adhd and i still have to deal with sensory overload, and my cousin is autistic, so this video is sooooooo helpful, thanks you!! :) edit: turns out i’m both autistic and adhd lol

I feel similarly today :) this video is my favorite to watch when I need to pause to nurture myself
I don't know if I'm on the spectrum but I'm highly likely on the spectrum and this really helped tho this also helped me with anxiety
Same.
i love it when you said a hug from the inside with warm drinks. That is so true!
I still don’t know how to cope with sensory overload. I get it a lot.... most days I wake up and can’t deal with any input. Anybody here in a similar situation?
I don’t but I would recommend setting aside a time each morning to chill and maybe play with fidgets if you have any
Same here
@@jellybob4569 ❤️ what are your coping skills right now?
@@evie4265 thank you. Is this what you do? x
@@lessandra602 my copping skills for sensory overloads are sit in a quiet place and do what is best for you.
Music helps me alot. Its like...a way to express myself to myself through someone else. Or if it's me making the music then its even better cuz one can express themselves through themselves for themselves. I cherish the gift of being able to make the music I most identify with.

This video just improved my life ahhh, also your pets are so lovely oh my goodness
I found this video so helpful and can relate so much and I don’t know what I would do without your channel.Also can you please do a video on how to cope with loud noises because I am 12 and I need a video on this.
Rita Piera Tessa I need this too! I hate loud noises and often need to wear noise cancelling headphones
Yesssss I agree
i stuck cotton in my ears to hear everything less loud and muffled when i'm not using my brother's bluetooth headphones no longer working, who work very well as sound canceling headphones. if you don't have or don't use sound canceling headphones everyday, you can't try that if you want. it's not the best but it's better than hearing everything raw and noisy (sorry for my weird english)
I have noise cancelling earbuds and good calming podcast, ear defenders , and ear plugs
I need a video on how to cope with loud noise aswell.
I us ear defenders to help with the noise.
Thank you for this I had a really bad sensory overload day yesterday and this morning soni might do some of this when I get home
I just recently started feeling this and went to the doctor. Turns out it’s caused from anxiety (for me) so it’s basically like an anxiety attack. I’ve been looking for ways to deal with it. The feeling is so weird it’s like I’m on drugs. Now I know how to deal with it thank you!
Omg! I need that bunny mug in my life 😍 I'm a mug hoarder and bunnies are one of my favorites!
I feel so much better.
Your. Dog. Is. Wonderful! 😍 He gives hugs!
Thank you for the video, it is also calmer then your others, (which I like 😉)
I'm off for a chilling tea, and cuddles with my bunbun 🍵🐰☺️
She is my favourite creature in the existence of all creatures.
Enjoy your chill time
Thank you for this. People have been at my house all day. It's been so noisy and chaotic. This really helps!
I just got out of a situation that made my brain shut the rest of the world out so my brain hates information a lot of the time. It doesn’t help that I have to start my coping mechanisms again from scratch. This video really helps
I find watching ASMR on TH-cam a great way to calm my mind and body
Thank you very much for making this video, Chloé. It is of great help. Having one of those dreadful days at the moment
My bunny died yesterday and I'm having a bad time I'm stressed and felling like I'm being pushed to a meltdown this video really helped I'm going to have a nice bubbel bath with a bath bomb and candel and watch TH-cam witch helps xx

Same here I am autistic and I have yuck days, cooking something can sometimes help me cope sleeping with pets is a good way to deal with my yuck days.
I find that using a weighted blanket helps and swimming or just simply having alone times jamming out to music
Thanks, you trully helped me. I thought sensory overload is an experience exclusive to myself. I feel v comforted now, thank you 💙🌊
Thank you soo much, I was struggling between masks and I calmed down and a daydreaming while doing mt homework
Turns out I do this stuff without even knowing it's my "calm down" ritual :) Though for me my "calm" music is metal and fresh air is my way of flushing through my system as I'm a Pagan. But I find if I'm not doing these things, I'm constantly irritable and on edge...
Um hi. I just wanted to ask: what would you do while having a sensory overload at school? Cuz that is something that has happened to me.
Thankyou so much for creating a calm and helpful video about such a difficult and personal topic. Most of your video's are fun and energetic, but this calming video is truly great when overload is (almost) occuring.

I could literally watch your channel for hours
Thanks this is helpful. I also read the book if I stay absolutely loved it.
I got my period really early and it's sent me into sensory yuk like the pain is not that bad compared to my migraines it's just all over and constant and horrible it's half 2 in the morning here in new Zealand and I'm supposed to be up for work at 7 but it's preventing me from sleeping so I'm watching sims videos (New spln woops) and your voice is really helping its so soothing

You have a very cute outfit nice video your awesome love you princess
Hi Chloe remember you went to Ceres primary school it’s me sienna the girl that said she had ADHD remember you talked about your story
This was a really sweet video!
I definitely should take care of myself more during these days but they’re just too often and the fact that I have school (which I sometimes need to go to irl) doesn’t help. I know I’ve had sensory overload one too many times on the bus on my way to school and there’s nothing to do about it but try your goshdarn hardest not to break down.
That's a cute kitty cat you got there. I'm autistic too and cats usually make me calm.
awesome video this will be helpful for future sensory overload.
Uh maybe unrelated but how did you make your bed? Like the small space where you were watching shows.
It just looks really comforting 🥺
I’m not on the spectrum but this helped me oh so much and I’m very thankful for that
watching this on a overload day after a long trip and realizing I've been in overload and burn out for over a week
I needed this today. Thanks, Chloe!
When I get like this I sleep it’s usually about the only thing that helps me and just being alone by myself sometimes it will take hours or even send entire day and yeah I am going to get tested for autism I just have to find a place or someone that is professional that I can go to
My calming music is 80s classic songs
my sensory overloads get so bad until the point my teeth bother me, my neck hurts, and even my own fingers rubbing against each other and i wanna know how to cope with me help!
I watched this video with my pet rabbit, Petal. I would've had Pearl too but she scampers and climbs too much.
Too bad I couldn't paint my nails due to the scent :((
I listen to soooo much music to cut off any stress around me.
Theres a show that i like called bee and puppycat thats realy good for sensory overload as it dosent have that mush of a plot and has nice graphics :)
Thank you, this video has been really needed for me & I very much appreciate this. I will be taking your advice ❤️ Also, the music & the tone of this video is perfect I’m just saying! 😄
how to cope in public and when in social interactions? like lots of eyes watching you, ect

Trees make me feel safe and I find ourside textures really grounding
I noticed just from this video that you love disney and horses! (just saying and also this video helped me out a lot thanks!)
The bunny cup makes me feel so safe

Plz do a video update on the kill pen pony’s
I'm getting slighty sensory overload by your fast paced talking! :D I talk a lot too. Thank you for the video, you're very sweet.
Eeeek! I'm so sorry, I actually tried to slow this video down and make it a lot more relaxed and chilled out- clearly I still need to work on some things haha! x
Princess Aspien Speaking slower does hello you to sound articulate and intelligent - I need 2 work on that more TBH.
I love that background music. What is it?

edit: turns out i’m both autistic and adhd lol
Lol I am 12 and drink tea
The beginning of the video... Why putting so many high notes on a video about sensory overload?!? How can I listen to this?! 😭😭
Found it usful
The asmr clicking lip smacking is really counterproductive in a video about sensor overload
weird how this video is too stimulating for many autistic people...
Thank you
