Hi, I'm new here!
Before I start I would like to mention that I am a 22 year old Nonbinary person.
A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with autism and I have a severe sensitivity to noise which has affected my life daily to the point that I overanalyse doors incase they slam and I anxiously worry about high winds that could cause doors or gates to rattle in their hinges. This has affected me even before I was diagnosed and I feel like it's ruining my life and may ruin my relationship with my partner. They know I have autism and severe anxiety, and they are trying to be more supportive which I'm grateful for.
I've improved a lot over the years with anxiety, I can ask others for help and sometimes confidently speak confidently to others using eye contact.
My only barrier now is the noise issue, I have gone to counselling to help but my anxiety is getting worse again less than a week after having my last counselling session. I'm so exhausted by this issue.
