The thought of going to work makes me anxious
the Night before and the day of.
leaving for work is like torture.
but then so is going anywhere else, and then arriving home at the end of the day, I feel anxious.
being in my home is sometimes too overwhelming for me too
why am I like this now

Maybe this and the anxiety go hand in hand? Do you have your own psychologist or dr you see who you can talk to about this? @ArraDreaming
I'm also one who is sensitive to noise. Mine is around buzzing. Hence, my phone is NEVER off mute. It doesn't make any noise, not even vibrate. The only way I know I have a call is the light on the screen.
I guess we are all different and that's what makes us unique.

Arghhh @ArraDreaming . Makes sense.
So now we can note down that noise is a trigger - all the time, or sometimes?
I find when I'm annoyed, then noise tips me off much quicker. Because I am so sensitive to noise, I think that's why I prefer forums over the phone support part of SANE.
