Feeling uncomfortable for no reason

Post Reply New Topic

I always feel uncomfortable for no reason. I only feel comfortable in my room. I can be using my laptop on the couch in the living room, and feel uncomfortable. It's like i don't feel "right". Has anyone else experienced this and do you think it could have something to do with sensory problems? Because usually the tv is on, people are talking, and other general sounds. I usually don't pay direct attention to them, and they don't really "bother" me, but I still get all uncomfortable and anxious. Can I still get sensory overloads even when not paying direct attention to it, or it's not bothering me directly?

I don't know but I get like that too most of the time, especially if there isn't someone with me that I feel secure with. I end up just thinking up a bunch of things or doing what could perhaps be referred to as some kind of visual stimming, where I trace the lines of carpet and stuff like that. It distracts me from feeling anxious etc quite well.

Yes -- you don't have to be consciously aware of any particular bit of sensory input for that bit to cause/contribute to problems with sensory overload. A person can have problems with processing sensory information and have no awareness of what's bothering them.

Yes I have experienced that. It could likely be a sign of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which is very often co-morbid with AS. Please see a psychiatrist who could diagnose you and get you some meds to make you feel more at peace. You deserve happiness.
