A handwritten mind map on lined paper titled "Overstimulated: What to do when you're feeling overstimulated?". It outlines four spiritual practices: Trust in God's Presence, Cast Your Burdens on Him, Meditate on God's Word, and Pray for Peace, each with a description and a Bible verse for reflection.
✨Overstimulated✨
💕 When the noise of life becomes too much, remember that you don’t have to carry it all alone. God is your refuge, your steady rock when everything feels overstimulating. Breathe deeply today, knowing that His strength is made perfect in your weakness. Let Him be your calm in the chaos, your peace

This image explains that overstimulation occurs when the brain's capacity for sensory input is exceeded, triggering the amygdala's fight or flight response. This releases stress hormones, causing emotional and physiological symptoms associated with overstimulation.
This image describes what overstimulation feels like, listing symptoms such as irritability, stress, overwhelm, restlessness, or feeling on edge. It also mentions physiological symptoms like muscle tension, a racing heart, sweating, or an upset stomach.
This image lists conditions linked to overstimulation, including ADHD, Autism, Sensory processing disorder, Schizophrenia, Anxiety disorders, and PTSD. The text is presented on a light background with subtle pink and gray shapes.
