Holiday environments can be loud, bright, crowded, and unpredictable — a tough mix for anxiety, OCD, panic, and sensory sensitivities.
It’s okay to:
🎧 Use noise-reducing earbuds
🚶 Step outside
🍽 Sit at the edge of the room
🌲 Choose quieter gatherings
You’re allowed to protect your sensory bandwidth.
