Hi Lisa. It’s getting easier for me because I’ve gotten better at accepting the “new me”. sometimes I tell people that most of the things they hear, see, etc gets stored in their memory. For me, I feel like there’s a funnel and only the things that make it through get stored.. the rest fall outside of the funnel. In the moment, I feel like I will remember it, but as time passes and someone mentions something I realize that I didn’t remember it at all. As far as the “overload”, that’s gotten a little better as I can now handle a few things at a time and not get overloaded.. I was recently around lots of people talking, and music at the same time and made it through, although found it hard to focus. Where before I’d have to leave, this time I stayed and just tried to focus on one thing at a time. It’s still quite exhausting. Thanks for asking!
