I feel like I'm losing my balance standing on solid ground on two feet. It's hard to describe, but I hate it. I can't get my voice volume right either, so I'm either too quiet or too loud.
My dr kept saying its was extrem anxiety + panic attack disorder + agoraphobia but i relieved wen my dr said she never seen someone with issues like mine so i felt alone but i realize its more its SPD. Thank u for sharing this made me alil strong
Having music is incredibly discrediting, STAR
I just got there, a couple of months ago, and yes. Gl to you too, they all need care
Thank you so much for sharing. It helps to know I am not alone. This brings me much hope that I can find help and strategies to cope better.
Music... Thank God for subtitles!
I understand what your saying. However, your a young woman - try getting diagnosed at 58 years, searching for answers all your life - to me your one of the lucky ones !
It would have much better if she had described how she manages
I find it hard to communicate and socialise as j never really had any therapy for it
I would love to find a video with advices what an adult person with Sensory issues can do to help the brain to getting more in balance/processing audio and visual inputs better. Or how to restore balance and calmness back in the brain when you experience an attack of sensory overload that to me feels like a combination of migraine, hardcore dizziness and anxiety. (Not being able to handle the inputs around me) Anyone who has experience with this or any advice?
Yes. Im surprised no one replied to you yet. I dont know of any reading material, only because I haven't really looked. I personally do a lot of meditative, mindful exercises. You can also look into regulating suggestions for folks who are on the spectrum. Some people really come into their bodies and out of that flight or fight state by being squeezed or weighted down. I personally dont like that but its a popular example. I personally used various "noise defenders", depending on the scenario I have ear plugs etc to help cut out the overload while I practice mindful techniques.
I sometimes will wear sunglasses with the earplugs or a hat. i also really like rocking chairs or hammock like swings to chill out in, really soothing. And dry brushing. Sounds really weird all these things but they are not obviously to people and just look like regular living.
Does that help?
@@liddlemountain7245 Thanks Kelzi :-) Yes it does, I also use earplugs every night for my sleep and during the day if something is extremely overloading (noise related ) or I use my headset that has a noise cancellation function. I also realized that I need to listen my brain when I need small breaks during my day. :-) But I just wished something could heal or help my state more deeply /permanently...
Hi I have a type of prossesing disorder that is sensory seeking. I just want to se, do and hear it all and get anxious thinng i wont be able to experience enough. I constantly hear a sound in my ears i can never escape exept when i hear loud music. If no sound in a room il hear everything at the same time but also seperstly (im also musically gifted so that helps). The fridge i hate but i cant turn it off the sound takes away many nights of sleep. Nobody else hears the sound tho. As a kid i could hear/feel the ticking clocks from the top floor all the way down to the basements so mom never bought ticking clocks but my neighbour they had 7 of em old tickers. If i where to sleep over there they had to turn off every single clock that ticked before id fell asleep. Sucth a kind couple I always felt safe there they listend. So i use headphones and often i have to sleep with music in my ear to escspe. coping mecanims i do is i deliberatly try to do thing i dont like doing or hearing to try and train my reaction to it. I cant prosess to much info at the same time i need time to go thru all the expressions others give in their face sounds they make aee they lying etc i analyse slot, are they trully my friend etc i need time. so if 3 people are talking over eachother it can become extrymly hard i can even start crying or get anxiety from that so i try to controll the conversation for the other people who probably are a dandialion children and not an HPS/orkid child. Theyl be beliving im a conversational narcecist but in reality im telling em something pretty simple and basic like "can we please just talk one at the time" so i "direct" conversations. So this result in friends over the years thinks im a narcecist and want to controll everything back to me. Irl it was my turn to speak and they wherent listening or bothering to listen before babbeling on over eachother again like sheep. I have been hypetsensetive my entire life im also diagnosed as bipolar disorder 1 and i dont deny i have that as wel makes sense to me as it gets even worse to deal wity sound and sudden touch if i get hypomanic or manic. But i never forget my manic fases never ever. Im always consous. Even in dreams im lucid it quite exsusting to wake up feeling you live two lifes one in dream and one irl and somtimes its hard to differ. My mom deliberatly put me in situations i did not like as did dad and they where told to by doctors. I felt tortured but it has helped me mask my behaviours to the point nobody would ever suspect im an HPS. But its about the prossesing. I never forget, not anything. I litterally cant cuz i also have hyperfantantasia so its a torture living with so good memory and remebering evey single event in my life in detail. if i touch smell or hear anythibg mind pops comes all the time and it is bothersome to me. Im sensory seeking so il have to limit my sensory intake and meditate and not be so much in the sun it hurts and i burn very easy. If any of this was helpfull to you feel free iv read every reachers there is on this and i just know cuz i can feel my logic inside speaking to me. People who arnt HPS they dont live in our world. They dont belive us cuz their sensed are dull. Its called beeing nevrotypical snd anevrotypical. There are also a sensory disorder where you feel no pain at sll. I went to school with a kid like that and his coping meckanism was to use his dissoeder to fyically hurt himself in front of other kids and kids are cruel so they clap and form a cirkle and say do it again. For me this was truamatising. I woulld ask him why and he just didnt care at all if the other kids bullied or not as he didnt respond to pain normally. His friend spat me in the face i remeber and told me to leave him alone and dont try and stop him and i had to respec that they where using him as shield sgsins bullies. I got so surorised by the spit i spit back insysntly snd hit him snd hi hit me back . I also have alot of the other sensory issues but not as strongly as im the sensory seeker i cant stop ever. Im currently 32 and people think im like a child but im higly logicl i just wel i dont se why its so problemstic exetpt if i deprevie myself of sleep and that can result in a mania for me. But peoole are willing to listen, alot are. I live happily with my bf who is also an orkid child as they call us. But hes issu is with sound and emeotion. Mine is everything. Coping mechsnisms i use: psycologist let it all out, diaries, writing storys, doing inside activeties like organizing (man i looove organizibg so much i somthimes need help stopping from my bf). If i dont force myself to take downtime it wil become so crazy many things il think about in some few sekonds i can and have gone insane before. I know i need help from my family and they try their very very best after mom died to be respectfull but also offer help as i tick on anything dissrespectfull i just wont tollerate dissrespect to a degree il scream loud if im dissrespected or see anybody else dissrespect other humans. I wil not have it it goes agins all logic and emotion to hurt other people deliberatly il speak up and put myself in dangerous situations to help or stop people form direcpting. My dad (both my partens had sensory prossesing sensetivity a lower grade of thw dissorder like all people who are a higly sensetiv persen hss sensory problems) and bf is super afraid il run into traffic (a stranger i has save my life a few times i was about to walk straight into a car i dont even know why i couldt stop i was in my own world and i didnt hear anything i felt drowned in the crowd so i stay away from crowds. But I loove concerts) and die. I acept that I need help somtimes and i happily take bipolar meds cuz they seem to slow me down and thats somthing i need. Find other people who have prossesing disdorders and befriend them. Talk to them about it theyl understand instantly. Its the besy advice i can give. Im so lucky my beasutiful soul of a neigbour also is an HPS but a different subtype than me but we shear slot of the same cuz i have a little of all the 4 types but mostly sensory seeker. we have a very close bond. Hope you can find other orkids we make up 30% of the human populstion so should be very possible❤
She said everything without actually saying anything
Im an aspie and shes so beautifull 😍
I have SPD too
And ADHD
Me three
Me four
sake--- jus t give us a video on what to do with an adult with this condition and what yu can do at home self-administered will you do this
How can I get the treatment I need through Star Institute? Thank you :)
So the institute has to play music which was very annoying
This sounds so much like me. 😢
Ironically I found it hard to watch this as the background music was interfering with my ability to concentrate on the voice. It would be good if you could upload them without the background music.
This is me
I have spd. I tried to watch this but the music in the background was too annoying
I agree l can’t cope with the music as it’s definitely making the video impossible to listen to 😢
Background music is not needed especially on this subject
It’s so beyond distracting for someone with sensory processing issues.
Unable to comprehend... music...
I want contact you please
Can you help me stop pretending and change my life
The background music kinda defeats this topic… whomever made that decision. It wasn’t a great one, no offense.
The music was unnecessary especially for the demographic of audience who would be your watchers… 🤷🏽♀️🥴
Oh I see. Pay thousands of dollars to another grifting vulture corporation to get help. Same ol'.
