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.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
