Accelerated burnout

Mercury

summer is an absolute *** of a season.  everything seems to be turned up to eleven!

To add, dogs seem to bark more frequently and louder this time too.

Add the heat and the bugs, smog, pollen and migrating some of my activities to the nighttime when I have the space to think, and I crash every few days.

It's a miracle when things settle down after dark, am i right?

Thank goodness for my noise cancelling headphones!

  • I’m with you on the noise! 

    I like summer but I can’t cope when neighbouring children scream when playing on warm and dry evenings. They seem to come out only at night. 

    I don’t recall other children screaming so much when I was their age, but perhaps I coped better then. 

    I use the noise cancelling function on my AirPods when things get too much.

    Hi ArchaeC,

    Yes, I agree. I read your post just at the right time, after having a sleepless night due to children screaming until 10.30pm. I also seemed to cope better with noise when I was younger. It really does help knowing that I'm not just over sensitive or complaining for no reason, that there others with noise sensitivities too.
