Your description of overstimulation resulting in shut down is spot on with my own experiences, my friend ❤️

I do not know how to feel about this. I do not want other people to understand these experiences, but I am relieved to know I am not alone. Thank you.

Maybe we don’t have to have a good answer for how it makes us feel. It’s complicated, always, to feel the similar struggles of someone else. I have a tendency to want everything to be neat and tidy to be comfortable with it but that’s not what life does.

I am the same way, life is not neat and tidy. It has to be okay for things to be complicated.

I'm glad you didn't ignore my bat signal. We're all just flailing around looking for a little peace.

It is hard to ignore an honest, loving bat signal. We are all just flailing around, yes.
