“Give me a few days of peace in your arms—I need it terribly. I’m ragged, worn, exhausted. After that I can face the world.”

Being overstimulated is such a weird thing to explain to people. Like “hey sorry, I’m not mad at you and this is nobody’s fault and I’m not blaming anyone for it happening, I am aware this is a part of regular everyday life but I am mentally crumbling because There Have Been Things Happening nonstop for 5 hours straight back to back with no breaks, and I really need to sit down in complete silence for like 15-25 minutes, after which I will be completely fine and can proceed as normal. But if I’m not allowed to have that, I will resort to violence.”
