I’m curious to know if this is a thing other ADHD and/or autistic folks experience, or if it’s just from the TBI (traumatic brain injury).
So just like when muscles start hurting from over exertion, when my brain gets overstimulated it physically hurts. Much like muscles hurt. If I push my brain too hard it hurts a lot. It’s also similar to when our sensory nervous system gets overloaded causing shutdowns/meltdowns and causes an achy feeling all over the body. It’s very much a physical body organ thing instead of a personality trait.
Anyone know what I’m talking about? Do you experience similar?
@ashleyspencer It reminds me somewhat of what happens to me sometimes, where if I'm overstimulated or stressed, loud noises of any kind can give me a pretty intense thumping headache. As if every noise in my environment, even things like a door being closed, is amplified and bouncing around inside of my skull as a long echo.
