Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I have had panic attacks too. They occur when I feel I cant remove myself from a situation such as in a classroom during lecture. I have exited several situations in full blown panic attacks because I let the anxiety build up instead of leaving right away.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 I have had plenty of panic attacks, but I don't think my sound issues have triggered them. when I have a panic attack, I feel hopeless & scared. When I hear a trigger, I have rage and mean woman comes out! Opposite emotions for me. > > i got a panic attack on friday from sounds i was hearing, has that happened to anyone else? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yes I have had anxiety or panic attacks when triggered repeatedly and no means of escape. Being reduced to tears, rocking back and forth, punching inatimate objects, etc. I mean, the best thing you can do at that point is get away from the triggers, take a walk outside, clear your head. > > i got a panic attack on friday from sounds i was hearing, has that happened to anyone else? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I actually feel anxiety and panic as well. As soon as I hear a trigger sound, I feel the anxiety build and I have to leave the room. Nothing else helps. Subject: Re: panic attackTo: Soundsensitivity Date: Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 11:16 AM Yes I have had anxiety or panic attacks when triggered repeatedly and no means of escape.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I get panic and anxiety before anger with noise. It only buils to anger if I cannot get away from it. My main problem is I get anxiety before I hear noise even when there is none there but might be. Just the anticipation of noise can set it off. For example I live in an apartment. When I come home from work I hold my breath praying my neighbors are asleep the entire drive home. If I pull in and see their lights on there goes the panic attack even if they are being quiet. I have to sneak into my apartment and stand there listening for the cliking of pipes or footsteps through the walls. If I hear nothing then I can sigh in relief...a little. If I hear noise then I am upset the rest of the night. If its really bad I take loads of Melatonin to get to sleep and crank on the white noise headphones over my ear plugs. > > i got a panic attack on friday from sounds i was hearing, has that happened to anyone else? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 , When you become anxious before you hear a trigger, you're experiencing hypervigilance. It's a state of hyperarousal and being on guard. A therapist explained it to me. I experience it all the time. I anticipate hearing my triggers and I'm constantly looking for an escape route from where ever I am. I think of it as self-preservation. We're all dealing with this the best we can.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I have the same reaction to anticipated noise. Three years ago, we had renting neighbors next door who had no idea (or didn't care) how intrusive they were. The kids would be screaming in the pool all afternoon, their beastly dog barking and clanging his leash against the pool rail, car doors slamming, father yelling to "get the h___ in this house---NOW!", radio playing -- it was sheer hell.I dreaded sunny weekends, summer vacation, and school holidays. Just the sight of their cars in the driveway would set me off. I wanted to scream "Can't you take those kids somewhere?" If occasionally they would be gone, I couldn't relax, knowing they could be back any minute.Our solution? We moved. They are still there.
