How does one ever adjust to bass noise after years without?

I so hate this damn world, spent years living without a single penis-enlarging-car-extension-making-it-sound-like-a-fat-motorcycle or sirens... suddenly, BECAUSE of other problems in the previous flat (leaf blower) I'm somehow moved to within two meters of cars... and, of course, leaf blowers remain, they did it on the roof recently too, like WTF... it's like I'm dealing with mental patients, and then somehow I'm at fault if I throw something at them and they happen to fall? Cats look far more elegant and make no noise...

Seriously, though, I'm worried, I had a breakdown years ago when I lived on a busier, hellishly noisy street, and I fear it could repeat now slowly but surely, and since I happen to have an axe now and the nearby cars don't go really fast I think I'm going to be 'mentally coerced', if that makes sense, i.e. made insane to such an extent I end up slicing some car... point is, they knew what happened years ago and they do this now, they can't possibly have not planned this, I think they want me to go insane so they could blame me for everything... :x

So were you 'moved' from the place you lived in because you threw things at the workers doing the leaf blowing? How is that not your fault? Its not the people out doing their job's fault that you decided to be irrational and throw things. You're just going to get in trouble if you react to noises by throwing things or pulling out an axe to brandish at people and possibly hit their cars with.

Can you move somewhere else? Are you receiving mental health services or anything to where you could maybe get some advice from a professional about your situation. Also maybe you don't need the axe and should get rid of it, if you think you can't keep from threatening people with it.

I'm irrational, not using some high powered engine to do something a a f*****g broom could easily do? It's the epitome of laziness and carelessness about other people... how is it my fault when they're creating such an extreme ruckus for such a stupid reason? Like, it couldn't get more stupid if they tried.

Use your axe to cut down the tree that produces the leaves that the workers are blowing off the roof :wink:

Have you tried some noise-canceling headphones to help reduce the amount/intensity of annoying sounds? They wouldn't solve 100% of the problems you cite, but they might help a little and make life around there somewhat more tolerable.

I use headphones, but 24/7 would be too much (besides the need to charge wireless ones, and if they were wired I'd feel even more confined), even ears start to hurt.

Sweetleaf, why do you leave negativity and then never reply?

Not trying to be negative per say, but even if something bothers you...you can't act violently towards people without getting consequences. So its just a fact of the matter that you'll have to find a way to handle it that doesn't put people in danger. Or you'll probably keep getting moved to crappier and crappier buildings

You say you have headphones...are they actually noise cancelling headphones that go over your ears, or cheap little ear buds that go inside your ear? Seems your noise sensitivity is serious enough it would make sense to invest in some good quality comfortable noise cancelling headphones that you can wear more often. That way you could avoid the outbursts that keep getting you in trouble, and then perhaps you could work towards getting a better living situation somewhere quieter.
