I finally understand the difference between “overwhelmed” and “overstimulated”

Oh my god I had always thought the two were interchangeable, but I can DEFINITELY feel the difference now.

I got truly overstimulated for the first time yesterday, and it was like someone was ripping out my teeth. Everything around my was just so hazing and felt unreal, and god the NOISE it was like splitting my skull.

Never using them interchangeably again.
