Anyone else dread summer because of noise?

Scramble

I'm recently diagnosed at 60 years old! I need help. I'm disabled so mostly stuck in my bedroom.  I absolutely dread the summer every year. I am so intolerant.  My neighbour has a dog that is not disciplined for barking. It's so close it's as if it's in my garden. I like to have my window open due to claustrophobia and lung disease. I feel like a child totally unable to prevent myself from feeling rage when the dog barks. It feels personal. I dislike any noise. Does anyone resonate. I have severe insomnia because of CPTSD and Im in such distress from stimulus I don't want to go on. I can't wear headphones does to vasculitis in my ears. I am afraid to go into my garden incase noise starts up. It's ridiculous but its me. Please someone help me.

  • I can't stand summertime. Feeling hot tends to trigger me into meltdown mode and I get very easily sun stroked. I sympethise with you on noise from neighbours, our next door neighbours teenage son makes the floor vibrate with drum and bass music, sometimes I imagine myself kicking down their door and destroying his speakers, but then I put on my noise cancelling headphones, play white noise and read a book.

    I think what you're feeling is very validated, but sadly we can't choose our neighbours and besides noise complaits, cannot do an awful lot. I recommend you find something to distract yourself with. Guinea pig cuddles help me a lot, highly recommend.
