Noise and concentration

Post Reply New Topic

I can read with the TV on a boring show that I have no interest in...but I have difficulty understanding conversations when their are other noises...my brain doesnt seem to know which to listen to...especially on the phone, need total silence.I work at a resedence with a DD client who talks "compulsively" to himself...it's non stop and drives me crazy...I cant read,concentrate on the computer or watch a TV show with this constant background noise...his voice is very annoying and I cant help trying to desipher what he is saying even though it is just "repitive gibberish"It makes me feel like someone is torturing me, fingernails on the chalkboard effect.....ahhhhh.I feel sick to my stomach when I am getting ready for work just anticipating this verbal assault.Its like he is "stealing" the space in my brain I use for processing my environment.

I love "white noise" fans and my sound machine....I use the railroad train to sleep...but I can often hear conversations and music underneath some of the white noise(rainstorm and waves).

I try not to let these noises bother me. Sometimes they do.
