Yesterday I went shopping in a very crowded supermarket. It was exhausting. I almost had a meltdown in public. do you have any advice on how to calm down / avoid overstimulation during such situations?

    i personally like these earplugs for concerts, theyre made to keep things at a lower volume but still be able to hear everything clearly. i personally dont like extreme noise cancelling because I like to know whats going on around me, i just dont like it all being so loud. i think they could be good for a supermarket because you can talk to an employee or something and be able to hear them but much less loud. maybe u can also bring a little comfort item to keep calm.
