I’m currently in Europe (solo) and I’m not doing well.

I spent 6 days in Paris and loved it. Now I’m in Barcelona. It’s my third day here and I haven’t visited any tourist attractions just yet.

But for some reason I am extremely overstimulated. Sounds, noises, crowds, etc. I’m a huge introvert so that could be why. I ensure that I get plenty of sleep each night and yet when I go out, I feel like I’m going to have a meltdown. Yesterday I was having dinner by myself and had to leave early because of the sensory overload. I don’t know why I’m feeling this way because I’ve never felt this way before. My father also passed away 2 years ago and it seems like this trip is making the grief worse.

Sorry this sounds so heavy. Is anyone in the same boat? I’d hate to waste the remaining time. I’m still in Spain and have 4 more days to go.
