Wasn’t sure where to post to putting her for traffic.
I really struggle with noises/smells/sensory overload. I suspect I’d be diagnosed with ADHD if I went down that road (I think that’s relevant)
As I get older I’m finding it increasingly hard to cope with noises out of my control - as in I get v anxious/stressed/panicky. Our ndn have a dog who is v barky at periodic times in the day. We’re not attached so it’s when the dog goes in the garden. Barking lasts a couple of mins tops each time. Sometimes not at all during the day then quite a bit early evening. It’s not consistent but it’s by no means constant. I find it really hard to cope with and it sets me on edge. What I seem to have lost sight of though is whether this is just a normal “side effect” of having neighbours.
I guess wherever you live you may encounter noises you don’t want but I suppose my question is whether people with more robust MH just get on with it??
Please don’t tell me I sound like a nightmare - I’m already aware I struggle with stuff that others don’t and I’m not trying to be a pain. I’d rather not jump out of my skin every time there’s a random noise or smell 😬
