Overstimulated

What are the things you tend to do when you're overstimulated? I go first: First stage: I start blaming and accusing everything for being wrong and inconvenient. Second stage: I shut down and don't want to be talked to/don't really react to things. Third stage (if I don't get a chance to calm down but get stimulated more and more): I shout and shout and swear 😫😭 Which makes me think, how common is this really amongst us mothers? Sometimes I feel like the worst because that's me on some days...

I’ll put my hand up nd be the first to admit it I have two under two I wasn’t prepared for it to be this difficult especially being so far from any help. But I have gotten way better as I realised it’s unfair on everyone’s else to have to deal with my mood just randomly changing. I have figured out the things that piss me off and over stimulat me for example the tv being to loud the max volume is now 15. Or my kids toys being all over the house I know it’s hard to imagine but you’ll miss it one day when they are all grown. It’s up to us to change to make things more easier for us cause it’s not that easy to get anyone to change to make our life’s easier be the change you need to be to have an easier life

@Amal I also have 2 under 2 and like what is harder than that?😫 For me the worst is the mess that accumulates super fast in all this chaos. And then I can't find my stuff properly, chores pile up and quickly everything gets too much! How do you deal with that? It's interesting, sometimes both kids are screaming and I have a flu and tell my husband that I have had enough of the mess, that no one's helping (which is not true) etc. and he asked me why I rant about the mess when it seems like actually the kids screaming overstimulates me.. that made me think🤔

Hi you just described me, and it feels even worse at the mo because a new neighbour has bought flat below and renovating so it sounds like their about to drill their way in through my wall ALL day long, littlest cant nap and so its all kind of hell. The tv on louder then usual so kids can hear it, wash machine going, littlest going around makin his noise, the builders banging that im overstimulated in no time and dont want anyone to say anything to me n hell hath no fury if i bump into the new noisy ass neighbour 🙈
