Your head is buzzing, and consequently, every small sound feels like a personal attack. Someone might ask you a simple question, but you want to scream. You feel stretched thin, like a rubber band about to snap. While you might dismiss it as a bad mood or a long day, it’s likely something more specific: you’re overstimulated.
Overstimulation happens when your brain receives more input than it can process. Unfortunately, our modern world is an expert at delivering this sensory overload. Recognizing the signs is the first step to reclaiming your peace. Therefore, you must know when to step back before you completely burn out.
