Understanding Sensory Flooding in Schizophrenia

Happy Holidays everyone! After two days of celebrating Christmas, I became a little overstimulated last night (no drinking nor drugs of course!) and kinda felt dazed and out of it so my wife drove us home. It felt very similar to when I relapsed several years ago and went catatonic. Has anyone else felt like that this holiday season?

Oh geez. I hope it’s not a warning sign or something. I don’t know about sensory overload but I get generally overloaded when there’s stuff going on , especially at Christmas.

Yeah me too @everhopeful, it happens whenever there’s a large gathering of people and it’s very noisy and I’m there for more than 3 hours… I can pretty well count on it. Gotta watch for it over the holidays I guess. Nice to know I’m not alone in experiencing this. Happy Holidays & Happy New Year @everhopeful!
