[quote=Anonymous]My entire life I’ve tended to get overstimulated easily. I could never do concerts (or even music at home), clubs, large groups, etc.

I have 2 young kids and an H, and most days I feel like breaking down. The toddler screams all the time, the 8 yo complains, H is super loud. It feels like I’m being bombarded from every angle. Plus throw in a dog, the phone going off, the never ending to-do list, and most days I feel like I can barely function.

Tonight at dinner everyone was just being so LOUD I had to get up and leave. I got in the shower to calm down. Most of the time when someone tries to talk to me, I can’t even process what they’re saying because I’m hearing 2-3 other people talking and my anxiety from it all is through the roof. A few nights ago H took the kids out for the evening and I forgot how nice it is to just do the dishes in silence so I can relax and actually hear myself think for once.

I don’t want to be one of those moms who screams at everyone to be quiet, and I do believe kids have the right to be loud. I just can’t take when everyone is making noise all at once. [/quote]
