Sensitivity to Sound?

[spryte]

Cat - sadly, I actually have the same reaction that your mother does. My sound sensitivity is way worse when I am stressed - and for me, stress keeps happening with this recurring trifecta that I haven't quite got a handle on yet of lack of sleep, lack of food, and too much coffee. When I am well taken care of (by me) my sound sensitivity is way less prevalent. I think I will always just prefer quiet to loud though. I listen to music, all day long I listen to music. But it's MY noise. *I* have complete control over it. It's the sounds that I have no control over that immediately put me on edge.

I was SO happy that the completely random restaurant that I picked for my birthday last weekend was both tasty AND completely empty. Lol

Happy birthday (belatedly)!     Interesting, what you say about noise that's under your control. I'm the same with silence. As long as I can get people noises when I want them, I'm okay with silence.

Thanks!

I can't tell you how much I've been fantasizing about living in a cabin in the woods...far far away from other humans.

I had that fantasy for decades and here I am in the middle of ten acres of woods. 

The neighbor who has two acres running along our ten filled it with a dirt bike track speaking of noise.  I am ready to move and we just got here.  Counting the days.  Maybe 100 acres next time. 

I am sensitive to noise and light.

Oh findingmyhome....
