You may have the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). You may feel that your brain works differently than others and be highly sensitive to lights, sounds, touch or other external stimuli. You may struggle with meltdowns because the overwhelm is just too much to manage. You may be quick to anger when feeling overstimulated, and struggle with anxiety with so much negative inner dialogue going on. Substance abuse may be part of your experience or thrill seeking to find ways to manage your sensory over stimulation.
