Dear friends,

i've been suffering non stop with sensory overload. My environment thinks i'm an idiot cause they : think aspergers/autism is for "whiners"....ofcourse i've already told them they can eat dirt.
I'm seriously considering living somewhere in the Woods, as my brain can not, and i repeat, can NOT take this society anymore. My doctors tell me i should live in a "cohousing" home or something, even though i'm highly educated and can take well care of myself. I should also be on heavy medication cause thats just all healthy and all! Me with my stupid yoga and meditation and loving nature. I'm going full into the wild, but i have no idea where i'll end up. My body is sick from the stress, my hair is falling out, i've got impossible digestive problems and headaches and it never stops.
Is this too crazy? I'm packing up and leaving as we speak, but it seems places without silence don't exist anymore...even freaking camping is heavily regulated in my country (Belgium). So when i do that, i still wake up with kids screaming or loud music. So the only place there will be peace of mind is when i'm dead. At this rate , my body will give up soon enough.
Sorry to rant, but i'm tired of this stupid society. I'm a grown man and ALL i need is a quiet place and i'm fine. I'm toast, its over. I've been looking for ages for a even stupid dump that isnt surrounded by cars, planes, or factories.
Any tips?

Have you tried looking for 'alternative' communities, those who are living in a commune style, I know it's still living with other people but you might be able to find a group of people who have similar ideals and are more tolerant than typical society.

Sorry you're having such a hard time. I moved out of the city to a quiet, peaceful, tiny remote community. I had gut issues too and job stress I couldn't handle which made my sensory issues really bad. If someone came into our office and they had used dryer sheets, certain lotions or conditioners, or perfume I would react (panic, brain shut off) to it all day long. Everyone thought I was crazy because no one else could smell anything. All sounds were coming in at the same level and tons of noises that wouldn't normally bother me were causing me pain. I was so sensitive to touch I stopped enjoying sex because touch would often be painful instead of making me excited like it used to. Blanking out every time I walked into a grocery store.

Sorry I'm rambling, but my sensory issues followed me to this lovely, quiet place until I fixed my gut. I saw a naturopath who treated my SIBO ( aka IBS ) with herbal antimicrobials and low dose naltrexone. My sensory issues aren't gone but they're totally manageable now. I'm back to enjoying sex, no more blanking out in stores, sounds don't hurt me, and I just get a slight nose tingle to the smells that used to make me unable to function. I don't know what your gut issues are but if it's IBS the research is showing that most people with IBS test positive for SIBO which you can treat. If you have any autoimmune issues or chronic pain issues low dose naltrexone can help with those too. I'm a clean eating, yoga, meditation, qi gong, anti medication hippy too but I love my low dose naltrexone. Good luck!
