Sensory Issues WORSEN

[AuBurney Tuckerson]

I can't say any other way that I want our of this sensory hell! Now I can't even ride in a car without the rumbling bothering me. I try sitting on my foot, changing positions, but it tortures the hell out of me! I just wish something would take me out of this sensorysensory nightmare! This has nothing to do with my hearing. Now it's my sense of touch! THERE'S NO HELP FOR THAT! The longer I live, the worse my sensory problems get! I hate my life... If God is supposed to love me, why does he force me to live through this pain and suffering? Why can't he just put me out of my misery?

Auburney I am so sorry you are going through that. It sounds awful!

As someone with my own forms of sensory difficulties, I may not know what to say but I do have a sense of your situation.

It may be that He gave you the tools to help lessen your strife, and you simply haven't found them yet.
I have found, in my life, that sensory issues rise and fall.
What may bother me most now, may be something entirely different tomorrow.

I have found that mindfulness meditation is a fantastic mediator and moderator.
It is practicing, exactly, for the ability to not be so affected and hounded by "things", and can bring a great deal of relief and understanding.

Are you going through a more stressful than usual time at the moment? I find that everything sounds/feels/tastes/smells far more intense when I'm on edge. Not sure if the same applies to you, but maybe try to work out if anything is making you anxious to begin with and deal with that. Then focus on trying to relax (via whatever methods work for you). The sensory overloading may then fade by itself.

I don't know. It just came out of nowhere like all my other sensory problems.. I had my ear buds, so I figured I can take the car ride, but then, I found the rumbling or friction of the road bothering me, and I couldn't sit straight.

Being under more stress and feeling anxiety exacerbates all of my sensory issues.
My tinitus gets worse. Dry eye problems with burning. Fibromyalgia pain.
Restlesss leg syndrome. Psychomotor retardation. Balance problems like the not being able
to sit or walk straight. Heavy head sensations and even vertigo can hit.
Tightness in chest and breathing irregularity. And all the senses get overload.
It's amazing how many physical ways increased stressors and anxiety are expressed in the bodily sensations.

Forcing myself to do some exercises that aren't heavy helps. Stretching, tai chi, table exercises and a recumbent bicycle seem to be the best.
But, also get time for meditation and relaxation exercises too. Guided imagery, etc.
When all else fails, some extra sleep time is a temporary fix for me.

I wish I could relax..

I wish I could relax..

I know. So do I.
When I had a home and someone who cared I was comfortable. It was my anchor and I could
relax.
Living with someone else now, it's like I can never really relax because I'm aware of them around all the time.
I could never be comfortable when at someone else's house before and still can't now.
But, I never lived alone and don't think I would be comfortable totally only with myself either.
Don't have the money to try it anyway. I'd still be under someone else's control, like the government
for an apartment or put into a group home.

I live with a grumpy old man that can put me down verbally like being blasted to the point it hurts my ears.
Always makes me feel angry or depressed, but, I need the offer of a place to live so what money
I get from SSI can be used to live on.

That's why I retreat to my quarters or sleep just to get away from it for a while. How I stand it.

Could it be psychosomatic?

I itch in one area and then, start to each in other areas!

My sensories are related to noise ( sudden and low) and light and if I had to deal with them without let up, I might just feel like you.

Are you on medication? Because then can tend to make matters worse.

I'm not in medication, no.
