OMG Yes, if you read any of my posts it talks about a quiet room meditation cards teas all herbal non caffinated and lavender and sage smuge/inscence burning celtic music and candle light...

Anything more then that makes me so ANGRY IRRITABLE and just NASTY.... I have learned to prevent those issues and my kids know that when I need quiet they play in Andrews room down stairs at far end of house.

You are not alone

Yep I can be quite sensitive to noise and light. the noise is the worse. There is just too much stimulus coming in that I can't process it all!
It stinks!

I think that on off days, we're wound too tight, and noise escalates our senses. Like sensory overload. I have this too. I can be freaked out just by the radio in my car, if I'm getting stressed. If I turn it off, I immediately feel calmer.

OMG yes. I have 3 babies and I will come in the room scraming about all the noise sometimes and send them in their rooms. They are just being kids I know and that is why I want to get better.

oh my cripes yes it does. Sometimes i can't stand it. My housemate is so loud - he came up the stairs in such a way that freaked me out and then burst into my room and i just started crying becuase it just freaked me out so much. I'm VERY sensitive to it.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
