Things for Less Brain Noise
Brain making a lot of noise? I feel you. Here’s what I use and recommend to help you out. Damn it, brain! Be quiet! Alexa, play Abracadabra. Volume 10.
This website is unusual to me, yet it actually works to chill me out? It’s so good. I love that you can turn elements on and off with volume control. With headphones it works the best. All I’m missing is a cat!
I Miss My Cafe
As someone with some auditory sensory troubles, these manage to take the harsh tone out of loud sounds. Like music in the car, loud malls, coffee machines etc. It doesn’t look like it would work, but it does.
Your life, your volume – Loop Earplugs
These are a life saver when you are stressed and your brain is making all that noise. It’s a distraction, it snaps your brain out of whatever was happening and plus they taste great. Like a slap back to reality haha.
Toxic Sour Candy Drum Selection 6x42g
Okay so I LOVE hugs. I never get any. This is like being hugged in your sleep. It’s super comforting and you feel safe? I honestly love it, they’re so good. To me, the heavier the better. But the blanket material has to be good. This one is good to m...
Brentfords 6kg Weighted Blanket Charcoal Grey
I take this every time I go somewhere far. It’s so addictive just clicking it and touching it. The little case makes it feel important (it IS important, it keeps me sane). Love it so much.
PILPOC theFube Fidget Cube - Parent
I literally put this on on my desk or outside my bedroom door. The family think I’m joking around but I am not by any means joking. I will cry if you come in my room when this sign is out *cries*
BOXOB Funny Office Prank Desk Sign - Caution Overstimulated
When you’re sad, get a burger or nuggies. Burgers are decent, but the buggies just have this calming effect on my soul and my general wellbeing. I wish they were in the shape of dinosaurs. If you don’t like McDonald’s pickles, just give them another ...
McDonald's UK
I love these. I want 10 of them. I lie on my bed or my floor when the world is making too much noise and just knowing that this is there is oddly soothing. Plus it always looks happy to see you. Cute as heck!
Kyduu LED Star Cushion, Light Up Pillow
Not even being funny, this diary is elite. When I’m stressed I like being mesmerised and this thing just looks and feels like I found it while exploring a cave. It’s SO cool. I write what’s bugging me and sometimes it calms me down? So weird. But coo...
Vintage Leather Journal with Key Closure - 8x6 A5
Sorry but first of all look at the colours. Secondly, it’s a fidget cube! So clicky, it stays in my pocket when I’ve not got my special one in a case with me in one of my many backpacks (I’m obsessed).
It gives your hands something to do, particular...
Yetech Green Fidget Cube Toy ADHD Stress Relief
IT IS SO COMFY. I haven’t got one myself, but when I am at my friend’s house, it’s MY chair ahah. Honestly, it turns your spine to jelly and you just chill.
Kaikoo Estelle Quilted Bean Bag - Blue
It’s cute. It has a heartbeat. It’s cute. It helps you sleep. It puts you out like a light when you’re struggling to get a good night sleep. It’s so fluffy.
THE RELIEF KOALA™
This little cube is sometimes my little life saviour. I get nervous from all the little things that bug me when I’m in public, and this little cube takes my stress back down a few notches. It occupies my brain! Or what’s left of my brain haha.

Music to Help Overstimulation
These songs really relax my brain. They hit that part of your brain that just makes you focus more on the music than what is bothering you. Also good for just shutting out noise from your home or people around you. They aren’t conventional songs for ...
Belter of a song! Honestly. I could listen all day. The music video is odd, but it’s cool too. The performance on Eurovision in 2015 was great. Moving around that quick then still being able to sing like that? Magic.
Euphoria - Single Version
For my Swedish people! I LOVE Swedish music, and this one is an absolute banger. It really relaxes me, and if you’re open to listening to music that isn’t in English, please try this song. It’s so nice. Snälla!
Genom Eld & Vatten
Trance is superb. It’s my favourite music genre, it’s so fun. It settles my brain a LOT. I lost my airpod pro’s, so my household needs to suffer it through my speakers. Oops. People don’t get it! XD
Follow Me - Radio Edit
Another Eurovision banger. So catchy! Makes your hips wiggle without realising it. It’s a comfort song for me. Plus, it was way ahead of its time.
Everyway That I Can
Need you even ask? Banger. I heard this again a few weeks ago after YEARS of not hearing it. It brung a tear to my eye, and nothing makes me cry. The nostalgia is real.
Moptop Tweenybop (My Hair's Too Long)
This song genuinely makes me so happy. It’s one of those songs that everyone knows, especially Gen X (don’t…). And I’m Scottish too. Freedommm!!
Freedom
Honestly sets the bar so high. Whenever this song comes on I scream the lyrics (obviously if the setting is right). Tugs my heart strings. Please listen!
