Mental Block or Go Away because you don't belong in my world

Post Reply New Topic

I'm starting to reconize that I have this anxiety problem where I want to do something I like but I feel blocked from doing so because I can hear my parents close to my door. It's like things needs to be quiet because my parents differ from me. It's hard to explain. I feel like I can't do or think of anything I like because I'm interupted my hearing my parents either close to my door or hearing them walking up and down stairs and all over the house.

I think of this house like my studio, my room is the writing, research and sound recording and the basement is my filming studio.

My parents let me do whatever I want. It's just that I have anxiety if I hear them close by.

I would put my electric fan next to my door so they can't hear me talking to myself or sound recording.

I lock and shut my door all the time.



I don't understand why I'm full of anxiety when I hear interuptions or non-quietness from my parents. It's not like they are knocking at my door all the time. They give me space and stuff, it's just that, I can't handle hearing them close to my door or hearing them period!


How can I handle this?

It's not like I'm going to ask them to keep it down, I don't want them to limmit themselves and feel unconfortable in their own house. You know what I mean?

Wish I knew something helpful to say. I live in a semi-detached home, and I can hear my next door neighbor walking around, opening and closing cabinet doors, taking a shower, etc. I feel self conscious and hyper aware when this happens, and I fear that he can hear me talking to myself, or whatever. I can relate, if that helps.

Maybe if you tried ear plugs or head phones it would help?

Having a problem right now that I'm trying to move on from. I'm trying to do some video taping in my room for a film that I'm making and I hear a bunch of racket from the washer and dryer, my step mother mentions again about how I didn't dry the rugs good enough and they were still wet even though I have already appoligized previously. I knew that it would be innopropirate to appoligize again because she is just letting me know again. I had that loud buzzer that's on the machine when the clothes are done. But I have to deal with it each time it goes off for now on so I don't take things out of the dryer too early.

Whoa, I've always been like this. "I can't do this because (anybody) is home." Not that anybody would even care, but still I feel this way.

Same here... It seems as though if someone else is even remotely possibly observing me, I can't be the real me...
