Noise and anxiety

yeah

I have at times ended up living beneath someone who seems to spend their entire evening pacing up and down the room and playing the same song over and over again

you could always attempt to counteract their noise by making a lot of noise of your own

maybe they will think differently then

Hi there Cams

Hypnotherapy can definately help if you have memories that need to be "calmed down".

Have you looked at this page: http://www.panic-attacks.co.uk/panic.html - there is lots of quality information to help anderstand why we get anxious in different situations.

Also, I wonder if you have tried to talk to your neighbours about the level of noise?

Hope some of this helps

Hi Cams

Am sorry to hear of your problems concerning noise. I recently had a problem with a noisy neighbour and I well understand the detrimental effects that noise can have on one's life, especially if you work from home and need peace and quiet in which to concentrate.

Tolerance levels concerning noise vary from person to person. However, it is a fact that noise is becoming a common problem these days and complaints about noise are on the increase. People frequently report feeling angry when they are subjected to unwanted noise and it is also possible for a person to develop a sensitivity to noise as a result of being subjected to noise over a period of time.

Since the noise is the source of the problem, it would certainly be worth having a polite word with your neighbour since people often don't realise that they can be heard by their adjoining neighbours. This particularly applies when people have just moved in and are not familiar with the building in terms of sound transmission.

I do hope your situation improves soon, if it hasn't already.
