Yesterday I went shopping in a very crowded supermarket. It was exhausting. I almost had a meltdown in public. do you have any advice on how to calm down / avoid overstimulation during such situations?

    Noise canceling headphones. It’s heaven. I use the Sony WH-1000XM4

    EDIT: I would like to add; you should work on getting ‘used’ to these feelings. Suppressing them or avoiding isn’t a good way of dealing with them. I tried so myself for years, it only made it worse over time. Please be safe and try to work on that ~

    I use earplugs, sunglasses, and hoodies. I may look ridiculous with hood up and sunglasses on a cloudy day, but it feels like a bubble of safety.
