So much this! I’ve started describing it as being “full”. Antique malls and makeup stores fill me up very quickly. My (also ADHD) daughters can prowl for hours in such places, but not me. My mom also “gets full” at a mall. And I get full when we have company at our house. This even with ADHD meds, although it’s much better with medication. Also, I’ve had some of those tiny magnetic beads for years. Thanks for all the great tips!
My daughter says she has "mall frights" because she can't handle the mall for very long without feeling overwhelmed... especially a busy one during holiday season. (She's autistic btw) :)
