Question about the term overlord

Post Reply New Topic

This is just a quick one, but I was wondering if the term overload only refers to sensory overload, and if it could also refer to emotional overload.

anyone know what quasi-autistic means?

I had to chuckle at the typo in your title. "Overlord" and "overload".... hehe.

Anyway. Yeah, you can definitely have emotional overload. Usually comes in the form of sadness, anger, frustration, or fear. Triggered by unexpected events, difficult social situations, etc.

I think sometimes the emotions are secondary, though--like with unexpected events, the frustration and anger or fear comes from your brain not being able to adjust to the new future quickly enough, and that's a cognitive thing.

I definitely use the term emotional overload. I'm not sure if everyone does.

I definitely also associate with getting emotional overloads.

I remember I once had an emotional overload.
About 10 years ago a had a 'fender bender' where I rear ended a car, a Mercedes.
I started panicking... hyper-ventilating & started smacking myself in the head. My dad had to calm me down.
It was almost a scene from "rain man". I still feel kind of embarrassed thinking about that day. There I was, out in the street freaking out in public.

...all because I was distracted by a cute red head in a short skirt.

I definitely get emotional overload, and it tends to have effects similar to - and usually combines with - sensory overload.

hi there,

i think its fits for both. For me emotions are also a kind of sensory input.... just a sense from inside, not from outside coming.

Yes! I get emotional overloads, although people don't understand them when they happen.
