Question about noise problems?


Question:
I don’t know what is wrong with me, but I suffer from very bad… I guess panic attacks, caused by noise. Usually people talking very loudly, especially when I’m in a room or area where there are numerous conversations going on. It’s like my brain can’t separate the competing noises, and it feels like I’m being attacked. To the point where I am actually in tears, and my whole body cringes up. Does anyone know what this is or what I can do about it?

Answers:
Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. The following steps will eliminate (or at least significantly reduce) your panic attacks:

1.Breathe properly - if you control your breathing, you control panic. As soon as you notice the signs of anxiety, check your breathing: breathe in slowly through your nose pushing your tummy out (to the count of 5 or so). Breathe out slowly and for a bit longer (to the count of 7 or so) through your mouth. Do not breathe rapidly or shallowly (in the chest area). This will soon restore the balance of oxygen and you will feel a lot better.

2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy! CBT is proven to be the most effective thing for panic attacks, OCD and anxiety etc. It takes a bit of work, but it is super effective. (After 15 years of panic attacks, mine stopped completely). You can speak to your doctor about taking a course or you can take a course for free online at: www.livinglifetothefull.com

3. Try relaxation exercise tapes (progressive muscular relaxation). They really help if you practise often enough. You can get free downloads online, e.g. http://www.studentservices.utas.edu.au/c...

With each step practise makes perfect. (i.e. practise the steps every day, not just when you are feeling bad). I hope you feel better soon. Best of luck!
concentrate in other thing
try to focus on one thing! dont let problems bother you. And try to visit your doctor,dont ignore that because if you ignore it, you will become more worse... controll your self..
you need to talk to a doctor
Yeah, I would find a doctor or a psychologist to ask. There's no reason why you should just live with that situation; it sounds terribly stressful.
It is time to see your doctor as they will probably interfere with your normal daily life. Panic attacks are not good and you don't want to have one in front of groups of people. I also believe that there is an underlying reason this is caused only by loud multiple conversations. First, you need to find out if you're a normally anxious person most of the time, or only in this situation.

Drugs, unfortunately do not always work the way you want them to, so unless you are going through menopause, you may have to address the causes. Why loud conversations?
