I've experienced this, I I find it more distressing than hallucinations.

I'm so relieved to read this. I had a horrible experience the other day where everything was just too much for my senses. There was too much to look at too much noise it felt like my head was going to explode. I've had it with too much noise and light before but never as bad as that. I'm relieved to know what it was.
