Hello,
I am a HSP and I go to college.
I don't really like college and I don't like my course, Media. My parents said I have to go to Media because I haven't got enough grades to work somewhere for the rest of my life. I really do want to leave college and work somewhere else - like a garden centre. I like spending time outside in nature and that's where I want to be. I've just begun Media and this morning and last night knowing I have to get up for college, I get nervous. I have been to this college for 3 years now (where I was much happier than now) My parents won't let me leave college even though I desperately find jobs that I like to go to work there because I will enjoy it.
I said to my leaders that I am a HSP and I don't like the noise of fire drills because they frighten me. I requested they give me an advance warning before it happens. They said they can't because it is there for an emergency. However, they let me wear headphones in class when working on the computer. It only happens once or twice a year.
I really do feel stressed out about this because I am sensitive to noise and I don't like sudden noises such as fire drills.
If one did occur when I was in the classroom, I'd probably get upset about the noise and overwhelmed by it.
Before, I'd just try to not be myself during those alarms, that means being happy.
It would really cheer me up if I left college and got a job at a garden centre, which I really want to go to work now because I would find it easy for myself.
Please can you help me or give me advice please.
Kindest regards,
