Hey Turquoise...
I hear what your saying about the over-stim. I have similar experiences and sometimes I am more sensitive than others.
I think it's good that you can realize that being in your room too much can be counter-productive for you. At the same time, it sounds like it can also be something positive you can do for yourself....something self soothing.
It sounds like you have some good insight about how this behavior can benefit you, but also how it could be mal-adaptive and since you are able to see the difference, I think it's safe to let yourself have some rest. Knowing what you know, I think you will be able to identify when too much is too much and that you will be able to take the steps to pull yourself out.
So let yourself rest and have some downtime if that's what will help you feel better. I'm proud of you for being able to recognize how this could be a positive or a negative. That's a good thing.
I wish for you peace and relaxation!!
