Does anyone else with anxiety get that thing where you just want everything to be quiet and when it’s not, you just get really agitated, and people’s voices just start driving you insane?

YES IT’S CALLED SENSORY OVERLOAD

sensory overload isn’t just from being in a loud environment, it can also come from being touched or any other senses being over-stimulated. i have it sometimes when i’m around a lot of people and if someone even just brushes against me i’ll go completely crazy, even if it’s someone i’m comfortable around because i can’t deal with someone else invading my personal space. it can even get to the point where just the feeling of your clothing against your skin will make you extremely uncomfortable. you can also get sensory overload from looking at bright lights or even smelling something strong if you’re extremely sensitive and it’s commonly associated with anxiety disorders.

It can also happen with other psychological things. I have a friend with Asperger’s, e.g., who always walks around with headphones on because he can’t stand too much noise and talking people - they offer him a break from that.

… Was a friend

I think I reblog this every time it comes up. I make paper stars and sometimes it does make me feel better

i never knew how to make paper stars, so i looked up for tutorials on youtube.

when i’m lonenly, which is translated to most of the time, i make them; green, yellow, pink, blue, white, purple.

and, believe me, it’s kind of a relief to make them. not only for the colors and cute shape, but also for the fact that the time i spend makin them i am entertained and don’t have to think about my loneliness anymore.

i learnt how to make them like two months ago, by the way. and i have made over 300.

it’s awesome.

I’ve been wanting to see this story again.

This is for everyone. Guys, girls, both, neither, and more.

When you’re upset, make a star. When you’re stressed, make a star. I make them in school when the teacher yells at our class for being lazy or dumb. I make them at home when I’m in my room, wishing someone would notice my feelings and give me comfort. I’ve always made them with whatever I had around, and write a number on each and every one because its therapeutic. I can see how far I’ve come and how many times I haven’t given up.

Right now I’m at around four-hundred and seventy, and it really puts everything into a perspective.

Thats four hundred and seventy times that I could’ve given up. I’ve gotten pretty close on some of them - scarily close, but every one of those stars is a reminder to keep pushing forward, because I wake up every day and on my dresser is a box full of stars, and when I’m happy I think of how far I’ve come.

I think this idea should be passed around as much as possible. Its calming and distracting from and panic I feel. It gives me something methodical to do: Fold here. Fold there. Crease that line. There you go, Create. Produce. Make something solid and focus on it. Make another if you need to. Write a number. Fill up the jar, box, drawer.

And when you’re breaking and feel everything crashing down, you can look at your stars and think:

“See? I made it through alright. I can give it another go.”
