Thanks. Sometimes I find the overstimulation stressful, like if things are too loud I can't be properly hypervigilant, ha, but you reminded me about aromas, thank you- am going to get this anti-anxiety lotion I got. Can't hurt.
Ugh, been half an hour and I haven't walked the 10 feet to my bathroom for the lotion, sigh. Going now.
Another 10 minutes and I haven't *opened* the lotion. I need to stop paying attention to these things.
