| I've tried a bunch of different CBD products and some of them are more effective than others. Most help with pain relief, some help with mood and stress, and one even helped me focus! If you can, get them from a dispensary because you need a bit of THC to activate the CBD. It's worth a try, and it's... |

Yeah I agree with that, I'd smash mine but when I took it off the ceiling the sound started coming out of the wires, crazy.
I agree how loud it is makes it impossible to deal with the problem
Thanks for sharing your smoke detector hatred with me I feel a teeny bit better |

| The smoke detector is old and replacing the batteries didn't work. I tried everything that a regular person could do to fix the smoke detector including shutting down the power in my entire house. (Using the master breaker) none of it worked so I started screaming. Usually I'm a shutdown type of per... |

| It depends on the type of accommodation you need, some places will accept that and some of them won't. Your therapist who diagnosed you should be able to give you details and help with the specifics though! I was diagnosed very recently in the same way so I don't really know exactly what's next eith... |

| Ohh, I see. Yeah understand that, I used to live in a city and after a while there I also became suicidal, I also think the constant noise was partially to blame for that. Don't give up on finding new housing. It's for sure frustrating especially now but eventually something will come along. But the... |

| I'd say try to create a long term goal of moving to a new place. I know that's hard and not always possible, but try to give yourself some hope for the future. If it makes you feel any better I know exactly how you feel about the engine/ generator noise. It's almost more of a feeling than a noise an... |

| Liberating! I mask automatically. If I don't mask I am very shy and self concious, so I mask to cover this. I unmask completely when I am on my own in a scenic setting and no one is watching where I can really be myself! I also mask automatically and it's really unsettling! I definitely ruminate on... |
