I often feel that way but I am not sure if it’s from fibromyalgia, fatigue, chronic pain, migraines and/or all of the above. I can’t really do anything about it during the day but I try to sit in a quiet room when I can. When I go home I try to rest. If you have any other tips I’d take them as well!

yes exactly, i have a plethora of issues, not sure what its caused by. I also try to keep everything dark and quiet. But even like when im driving in my car, no radio, windows up, sometimes hearing cars driving by outside is overstimulating. Im thinking about trying noise canceling headphones or ear buds. And maybe some super dark sunglasses
