How do you deal with sensory overload, sensory icks?
I have no clue if i have posted this in the right community/thread hehe!
For me, personally, sensory issues have become bigger as my mental health has gotten worse. - I never really used to struggle this much with sensory, it's shocking how we all develop and change!
This is what i do:
Visual: Stimulating lights, bubble tube, LED/string lights.
Auditory: Ear phones with reasonable level music or ear defenders.
Olfactory (smell): Covering face with something or use very mild smells for food, air fresheners etc.
Gustatory (taste): Eating really plain foods and having safe foods.
Tactile System: Sensory toys, soft blankets.
So... My question is, what do you do when you are struggling with sensory things?

Visual: No lights: i tend to bury my head, or hide under blankets.
Auditory: either music from my calm playlist (songs with lyrics, but are quiet and soothing) or plugging my ears
Olfactory: none
Gustatory: None
Tacticle System: my blanket, and my stuffie that i hug. or hugging my person
