so what does arousal have to do with the cause of sensory issues?a lot!
when you have high arousal you tend to be more aware of your surroundings and that can really be bothersome
for example, I can't handle when things get too loud
on the other hand, people who have low arousal, tend to not really be aware of their surroundings
another way to look at is the flight/fight vs freeze thing
(sorry I don't have the technical terms for anything)
but when you're getting ready to fight/fight something you're arousal level is probably very high
when you're getting ready to freeze, your arousal level is probably very low
anyways I don't know why I decide to talk about important things sometimes while other times i talk about basically nothing
everybody basically goes from one to the other at some point

I forgot that I changed the title again whoops XD
my sister finally went to the hospital
I go back to school in person tomorrow
Um im still trying to figure out how to pretend I'm okay
Also my neighbors are being loud af today
Which wasn't my original plan but you know things change
I feel really crappy and really unhealthy
"I will talk to Erin about it when I talk to Erin about it"- my mom talking really loud on her phone in a different room*me internally: I CAN FUCKING HEAR YOU
what does she not get about me being able to pick up on sounds
she's ready for me to disappear and I keep acting like I'm fine and like it's what I want but it's not
because my mom triggers me every fucking day
and it's really hard to recover when she doesn't understand that
it's personal
