Your senses aren't broken. The filter just works differently.
Think about it the way you'd think about hunger. Hunger isn't proof that something is wrong with you. It's your body telling you something is true and asking for a response.
Sensory overload works the same way. It's not proof that you can't handle normal life. It's a signal that the input has crossed a line, asking you to respond instead of pushing through.
Once you treat overload as a signal instead of an emergency (or worse, a verdict on your character), you get to work with yourself instead of against yourself. Same rooms, different woman.
The full episode on ADHD and sensory overload is in my bio.
Ok, now it's your turn: what's the first signal your body gives you before you hit overload? Tell me in the comments, and follow along for more ADHD tips for women.
