Does anyone else with anxiety get that thing where you just want everything to be quiet and when it’s not, you just get really agitated, and people’s voices just start driving you insane?

YES IT’S CALLED SENSORY OVERLOAD

sensory overload isn’t just from being in a loud environment, it can also come from being touched or any other senses being over-stimulated. i have it sometimes when i’m around a lot of people and if someone even just brushes against me i’ll go completely crazy, even if it’s someone i’m comfortable around because i can’t deal with someone else invading my personal space. it can even get to the point where just the feeling of your clothing against your skin will make you extremely uncomfortable. you can also get sensory overload from looking at bright lights or even smelling something strong if you’re extremely sensitive and it’s commonly associated with anxiety disorders.
