the streets are a sensory nightmare today (cars on wet street) #sensorynightmare #sensoryhell #actuallyautistic #hyperacusis

How come instead of whiskers I have high strength titanium needles growing out of my face?? 😭🙃
#SensoryHell

The badge & lanyard I have to have for work is a sensory nightmare. The badge piece has 3 cards that clack together and swing around and smack my stomach unless I walk verrry sloooowly. #sensoryhell

One thing I can’t stand: someone’s perfume on my clothes. Hugged someone and now I feel the urge to change my pullover. And wash my face a few times until the smell is gone. Ugh

Oh thank fuck I think I got it to stop again without either waking @bibliollama or losing my marbles.

Goodnight tootuals!

On the totally non-spoilery news side, have once again managed to find a Hotel Room Of Funny Noises™.

This one seems to emanate intermittently from the extractor fan which is currently... not in use. It mercifully disappeared for most of the evening but guess who's back, back again, just as I'm about to try and sleep? 🤦‍♀️

🔧😠🔧

Ugh… why do the whiskers that grow out of my face have to be needles strong enough and sharp enough to cut Superman?? Can I just get electrolysis on my entire neck and chin?

If you could make one thing disappear forever:

Retailers who advertise socks with seams as "seamless" should be criminally fined.

I can't believe it took me 48 years to realize that simply not wearing socks was an option.

I really hate that pretty much the whole world decided that in-ear ear buds were the default. In-ear is sensory hell—always! Bring back the over ear clipped buds that didn't get jammed up your ear canal. *ugh*

Ugh… sloshing coffee (which may actually be bad for my teeth) around my mouth because I have a seed stuck in my teeth.
#SensoryHell

Argh!! Didn't I already shave this year?? Why can't I just be losing hair on my neck instead of on my crown? 😭

#SensoryHell

Watching people on television wear winter clothes including turtle neck sweaters, parkas, and knit hats when it's warm here makes me almost as physically uncomfortable as if I were wearing those things myself.
😵😵‍💫😭

"a roll in the hay"

That literally sounds like some kind of medieval torture.

Doing that ANYWHERE else but in hay sounds infinitely better.

Exhibit A:

I drove a short distance to pick up our grocery order. Had to pull over and adjust things because two things were (newly!) irritating/distracting.

My keychain bumping my knee, and the threads on my cutoffs brushing my skin.

#sensoryhell

I'm having one of those nights where my entire body feels like a sensory purgatory. I'm in bed reading, and my skin feels wrong and itchy, my PJs feel wrong, my blanket feels wrong, etc. I think even my hair feels wrong. Head and body. And this is a fresh bed, even, so idk what the hell is going on but can my autism please go tism elsewhere? Thanks.

Yay! I finally trimmed my Muppet eyebrows. #SensoryHell

To all the parents that have ever forced sensory hell on their child against their will, while saying things like “stop being dramatic it won’t hurt you”…

😬 I have some harsh news about how incorrect that is
