I struggle with overstimulation. Depending on the environment, it feels like my brain can’t process everything and it hurts. Some days I do better than others, but I haven’t sorted out why.
I have one white matter lesion. I also struggle with heightened anxiety. I’ve been told that mindfulness meditation can help strengthen the prefrontal cortex and reduce the size of the amygdala and thus reduce anxiety associated with a brain injury. I’ve been trying the headspace app for meditation.
Mark- have you heard if the overstimulation sensation can improve with time? I feel like I’ve stagnated with that even though I continue to expose myself to things that bother me. What’s your opinion on meditation? If meditation can reduce anxiety could that also reduce the overstimulation feeling? If you’ve posted answers to those questions before, please disregard me.
