I agree, I say simple sentences like, I am overstimulated. The other thing I say is please leave the room, at first my family was hurt. Over time they can see what happens if I don't make clear boundaries. I get sicker and sicker! I can listen to my daughter the most, her voice seems to be in a key that doesn't grate on my nerves. She is big into musical theatre, I cannot go to many of the shows anymore, I ask her friends to record them on their ipad so I can see her. This is an awful illness!
I do take low doses of benzodiazepines, one I can take in the day. One at night. I am one who is all about eaking out all the quality of life that I can now is all I have. It is not a glamorous choice, or a popular one.. but give me the drugs! I have to live now. I will deal with drug dependency if it comes to that. Lyrica helps me. Low doses of opioids help me, and I do not apologize for that. It is a pain medication we humans have been using for millenium. A simple poppy plant.
Dependency and addiction are two different things.
I hope you can find a way to cope. Please don't judge yourself too harshly right now!
