Do your sensory issues get worse when tired or stressed?

Wondering if this is a thing? I feel like it's harder to deal with mine if I'm tired or have something upsetting happening, so they become bigger.

Definitely

Yes always

Yes, massively

Definitely. I'd like to also add 'hungry' to that list.

I figure if you're already a bit on edge then logically it takes less to tip you over.

Absolutely!

It's overstimulation. Too much input tips me over to the stage I want to rip my own skin off. Today I could only eat chocolate or plain pasta as all other food was too much because of everything else going on. Fucking awful day at work- sounds like you've had a tough day too?
