loud sounds

[iamyukii]

does anyone else get really bad anxiety whenever they hear loud sounds? for some reason i randomly get bad anxiety whenever i hear loud sounds to the point where i get an anxiety attack.

i have 5 pet dogs and sometimes (usually most of the time) whenever they all start barking it gets really bad for me and i try to calm myself down from the barking. even though im used to them barking it still gives me bad anxiety. it’s happened whenever someone’s yelled or even simply laughing too loud. idk what’s wrong.

I’ve had this from time to time to different degrees. I think this happens when the nervous system is on high alert. So anything that could possibly be perceived as a treat it will over react to.

Yes! Even if I’m in the grocery store I get sensory overload.

Yes I have this loud noise and sound anxiety!!! Whenever there is a loud bang or things falling off to the ground or sometimes I feel annoyed and anxiety when dog barks or other things especially falling down or my mum doing house chores ....and when she is angry or yells or mumbling at me or rushing me to do things (like now I feel unpleased! And uneasy! She just don't know how I am and understands me fully!) Even though I know her reason so well I couldn't means couldn't sometimes I can but don't force Me!!!!

I have that problem. There worse my anxiety is the more I am sensitive to noise. I also noticed I am more easily startled and that being startled makes me more nervous. I have become a more solitaire person to keep my environment as calm as possible.

Same here! I get so startled over the smallest things. I could be in the kitchen making dinner and someone enters the room and I jump lol
