Hi thank you for the reply the trigger for my noise anxiety was a night noise that had started last year it comes from a new sewage works that has opened now it is every night i can't sleep with my window open and then due to covid people being at home we have more cars passing food vans other delivery vans speeding past the house which once was a quiet road it slowly built up over the summer and eventually lead to high anxiety which i cannot get over everyday for 3 months i have been on high alert and cannot get out of it so same time as you i have palpitations, no appetite, feel sad and tired and ruminate wishing i lived back in the quiet street i moved from and wishing i had stayed i'm sorry your suffering too how are you today?

Hi Lorraine90511 thank you so much for being there if i want to talk i really appreciate it iv'e tried headphones but can't use them because my husband isn't well and so i need to listen out for him i do play music one of the main things that helps is keeping busy and talking to someone like you who knows what i'm going through i wouldn't wish this on anyone i don't want to socialise and my grown up kids and their families have become distance i don't think they know how to cope with me i think covid has had a lot to do with it my doctor said more people have been coming to her with Anxiety this year more than last i hope your okay at the moment? xx

is what you mean by noise anxiety a noise is a trigger for heart beats. yes every time the phone rings its a trigger for me my heart jumps. i know the reason but cannot control the cause. i try to except it is what it is and slowly take deep breaths as it slowly is starting to release that feeling.

Hi yes the noise is a trigger that's why i am anxious all day every day it was so peaceful living here but it has got noisier outside more cars, vans whizzing past the front window i can't seem to get any peace i can feel myself relax when i am away from the area i live in
