In reply to Is this part of the anxiety?, posted by hrtlm on December 2, 2001, at 12:56:10
I am a horrible bitch people say. It's because I am very intolerant of incessant noises, irritating smells, annoying things in general that of course no one else finds annoying.
If it helps, I wasn't like this before my anxiety disorder. I am really angry, frustrated and generally outraged when there is a car alarm going off or the tv is too high or anything like that. It's sensory overload and yes, I believe it is part of an anxiety disorder.
> Recently, I've become very sensitive to (highly annoyed by) sounds and smells in my apartment complex. I literally feel like I'll come out of my skin the next time someone shuts a door loudly. And the smells that leak into my apartment from the wall I share with someone else. I can hardly stand it anymore. Is this heightened anxiety?
