I have an interesting habit that I was wondering if anyone else shared? I've had really bad sensory issues all week. I completely shut down yesterday and don't really remember much of what happened during my evening. I woke up on my balcony this morning (very early in the morning) and came inside only to find myself on the couch this morning at 6am when I finally got up to start my day.
I'm going to assume I went outside because it was so unbearably hot in my apartment. I've done strange things like this before and have only vague ideas/memories of how it happened.
Today I'm feeling much less overwhelmed and am able to focus and do more than one thing at a time. I purposefully didn't wash or brush my hair during my shower and am not wearing any make up (all these things are really difficult for me to deal with so on weekends I give myself a break if I can). Plus I'm wearing all my loose, comfy clothes all for the specific reason of not "flipping out" at any point today.
Now to the really strange thing... The day after any day that I've had really bad sensory overload I feel a real need to rearrange my office furniture... I'm talking the whole office and everything in it. I also find myself really wanting to clean things. Could this be because I feel like I need to keep busy or something? I'm not sure what's causing this weird urge to change everything, but I'm starting to notice the pattern between becoming unbalanced and the next day needing to clean.
Any thoughts? It's sounds really silly now that I'm reading it back to myself, but yeah... That's me.
