Hey Katia, are you kidding? The noise thing is not a figment of your immagination-- I have OCD. Too much noise drives me at times into super maniacal RAAAAAGE! It sucks- little things like a horn honking, a dog barking, -sadly even the sound of my dad chewing his food at the table, makes me want to jump out of my skin!! Sound sensitivity and hyperacusis is not limited to ocd it also exists in many forms of mental Illnesse's
The Good news is this- -at least for me-when my depression clears up- MY oversensitivity to noises
tends to diminish. All I know is that I HAVE TO HAVE my fan going and an air purifier going to drown out any extra noise when I try going to sleep!! The thing about loud booming stereos's is really funny cuz I used to have an incredible amount of wattage and volume in my car stereos's- in fact it was one of my major hobbies- But now when i am in the car I barely want to even have the radio on!!!
So, no you ain't the only one!! I like my sound when I like my sound!!!
