Sensory issues

Slater1

Hello all. 

I'm awaiting an assessment for diagnosis, it's a 27 month wait list and my god am I struggling. I find my main struggles are sounds. I'm struggling to sleep because things are waking me, cars on the road, dogs barking, others in the house moving around.....the smallest of things. I've got white noise playing when I sleep and also sometimes have ear plugs in. If I'm at home and sat watching TV etc and I hear a dog bark, loud car pass my house etc it really triggers me, I can only describe it as making me feel ill and angry. I hate these feelings. Not sure what I can do. There's a list of other things too but the sounds is definitely the worst! Any advice would be so appreciated 

Thanks

  • I've used a white noise generator for years when going to bed and if I ever forget to turn it on I straight away feel uncomfortable and stressed. It's not so much to mask specific noises but any POTENTIAL, unexpected noises that I worry about. I had a lot of problems at work when they decided to change my work environment to a much noisier one that I had been used to for literally decades! Thank God I'm retired now.
