Re: Realizing the sound you heard wasn't your trigger, anxiety drops - anyone else?

I think that is just realizing that you will not be subjected to it over and over, assuming that the lid is closed and or whatever is just a one time noise, not repeatedly and without end.Subject: Realizing the sound you heard wasn't your trigger, anxiety drops - anyone else?To: Soundsensitivity Date: Monday, August 20, 2012, 7:51 AM

One thing I've found kind of interesting about "the sounds" is that if I think I hear one and my anxiety/anger kicks in, but then I turn around to see that the gum crack was actually a button snapping (or that the knuckle popping was actually a lid closing, and so on and so forth), my anxiety drops or diminishes. Does anyone else experience that? If so, what do you suppose is the reasoning behind it, and is there some way we could exploit this key to help us? Just a thought.

I do that same exact thing..... I will instantly turn to see what made the noise and if it's not a gum crack or other mouth noise, I'm usually ok. However, any constant sound will eventually piss me off again (such as ball bouncing, tapping, etc..)

I agree. For me, i have to find out if it is being made by a person. If it is not, i'm fine. But if it is from a person that I think should know better, I'm enraged.

One thing I've found kind of interesting about " the sounds " is that if I think I hear one and my anxiety/anger kicks in, but then I turn around to see that the gum crack was actually a button snapping (or that the knuckle popping was actually a lid closing, and so on and so forth), my anxiety drops or diminishes.

I've had that exact same experience. It doesn't really make sense, but it seems

to be a reality.

Maybe we should imagine that the sound really is something else (without turning

around to confirm what it is). That's how we could exploit it. However, not sure

if it would work since not turning around may just cause more anxiety.
