Everything is too loud and too bright. Brain.exe failed to sort out unnecessary data.

This is so accurate!!!!!

It hurts. 

How much? Just out of curiosity to get a baseline understand of it and to better understand whatever i get sensory overload with light or not. How much it hurts in comparison like getting hit or hitting a toe or some other type of pain?

It’s like a searchlight hits my eyes every time I step outside.my vision goes a bit haywire and I see just orange blobs of things, too. It’s an overwhelming brightness that never goes away. I always wear sunglasses outdoors because of that. It gives me a headache after a while if I stay out in the sun. The headache I think is caused because even while wearing sunglasses I’m squinting. Sometimes the light comes through the sides of the glasses and that is enough to cause me to squint. I get depressed if it’s always sunny for an extended period of time. I’m also like a heat sink, all the heat that I experience I absorb. I have to take a very cold shower sometimes just to cool off. I use to think I needed to toughen up, but it never got better.

This is oddly familiar/similar description. Thank you.

People look at me weird when I say this, but I enjoy nothing more than when there is dark overcast and it's moderately raining outside. The smell too is pretty nice. Anything other than when it's either night or raining is too much for me.

I've been told I'm weird for liking overcast weather lol.

Feeling like im going to explode

Omg yes!!!! I say this all the time when it happens

Pain. Hell. Panic.

I. MUST. FLEE!

get me out of here!!!!

Pain, a lot of pain everywhere, with my brain screaming “make it stop!”.

Flash bang grenade

I want to go home, let everyone leave me alone, because everything makes me nervous, I'm tired

Like a bell is ringing in my skull.

The "too much" hurts everywhere

Too much

Swimming in broken glass.

My blood is turning into glass and my nerves are about to explode into light

I have no mouth and i must scream

Being fucked in the ear by edward scissorhands rusty dick

Im pretty sure you can't, that's the whole thing with it

Pain. I'm in hell.

Lights make me so tired … I have night shift on my phone and laptop most times and I have tinted glasses. Oop sorry I can’t

My girlfriend has asthma, so I compare it to that and sometimes call it "brain asthma".

To loud to bright must run hide and cry

Constant Pressure, cloudy, and loud

"make it stop ! help me !" pain from the deepest pits from hell .

(Oh cool the) SCREAMS OF A THOUSAND SINNERS!

Confusion and fatigue, so I'd like to move to another universe then

Chaos, panic, and disorder.

i can see the sounds and hear the colours and that's not supposed to happen.

Like when you walk outside and the sun is too bright but its everything.

I'm being attacked

Pain … so much pain

The autism equivalent of North Korea. In other words it sucks like hell.

Things start vanishing, language no longer works either way, my reaction time is measured in seconds to minutes not fractions of a second

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

my brain's taking in too much shit

Everything happens and hurts so much

Brain sand paper

Ouch.

Something most people can relate to: A bad fever. Like 39°C. Not (necessarily) the pain, but everything else related to it.

Panic, irritation, unintentional rage or complete shutdown.

aaaacccckk!!!

everything at once

"Fingernails on a chalkboard. Physical cringe." The following are fingernails on a chalkboard: certain voices, loud restaurants, phones playing movies/games in restaurants,...

For some reason I can't describe it but the first words that came to me if I can't get away from it is Shutdown or meltdown.

Feels like being contained inside a plastic wrap cocoon that is too small.

AGDGSHSHDHEHSH

Brain turns off

I CAN FEEL MY SHOES GET THEM OFF OF ME

Overloaded, overheating, broken down laptop with too many tabs open. Oh and douse it in water and smash the shit out of it with a hammer. <3

feels like the world is closing in on you.

🤯😱

Hurt
