Feels like I’m outside of reality watching. Time slows down and I become disoriented. I get dizzy, I can’t process ANYTHING mentally. Yes feeling very drained by my environment. Yes-emotional and verbal shutdown, inability to concentrate, headache, fatigue, irritability, feeling trapped, need to escape It badly affects your relationship with yourself and with people close to you. Like your brain is pushed to its absolute limit. Heart starts racing abnormally heavy feeling in the brain eye get drowsy to the point of getting closed start yawning want to run away from meeting or retire in calm place and sleep for some time shoulder start dropping complete energy loss to the point other people start feeling uncomfortable looks very tired to other folks. I get totally devastated and heartbroken when I'm having a meltdown and it's disregarded or I'm made to feel like a burden instead of shown patience or compassion. It feels like (emotionally) a ball machine on a tennis court is spitting out balls uncontrollably.Ī total emotional mess. Tight chest, shortness of breath, mind spinning. Yes and when it happens I need to be alone and in a quiet space to rechargeĪll the doors are closed in the room of bad emotional feeling and I cannot get out! It feels like an ocean wave crashing over you as you stand on the shore, looking up at it. With so much incoming sensory stimuli, you don't know what to attend to and what to ignore. The only way I can think to describe it is "head spinning". It feels like my head will explode if the noise doesn't stop. My ears hurt and I can't function properly. Many times similar to what I guess an anxiety attack feels like but it changes according to the source of the sensory.Įverything is just too loud. ![]() I can’t do anything - it’s agony to just do simple things. I sit in a chair and stare at the TV and before I know it, hours have passed by. Too many balls in the air, too many people talking to me at once, too many tabs open in my life. If too many things are happening for me (not to me) at once. It was very scary, disorienting and humiliating. I could not think, plan, anticipate or function.

It feels like I don’t have skin on so everything is super abrasive to my nervous system. Sensory- I shrink into myself to try to get away. Even when I think I’m “done” and have gone back to whatever it is I was doing, I am very easily triggered to start crying again the rest of the day. I have to sit down or lay down wherever I happen to be.Įmotional - I cannot stop crying. I feel waves of energy going up and down my body, I then start feeling clammy and faint and nauseous, like I am about to pass out, weak like I am unable to hold myself up. This usually wipes me out for the rest of the day. I usually start to feel stressed and then emotional, I don't think very rationally at the time, depending on where I am I may have to just "troop through it" so if I'm at work (and crying is not really an option for me at the time) the feels tend to morph into a physically heavy feeling, and then feeling completely drained, almost like the beginning of a flu. From a survey I conducted for HSPs, on my HSP Facebook page I asked the question, Have you ever experienced a feeling of complete emotional or sensory meltdown? Please describe it as best you can.
