| Deeply, resolutely, and eternally an atheist. Very vocal about it too. Can't be nice about religion/god nonsense. One of my biggest pet-peeves about living in the US (for now) would be its overwhelming religiosity. I'd rather be living in Sweden, Norway, or Iceland where more than half the populatio... |

| Thank you for your responses. I've jotted down the names of the meds mentioned and will be discussing them with my new doctor today. |

| I've been medicine free for many years now, but I am reconsidering taking anxiety meds. Most of my anxiety is brought on by sensory overload, particularly sound/noise related stimuli. I have extreme, inhumane levels of sensitivity to inorganic, mechanical soundwaves (pure evil, those sound waves). I... |

How wretched! How ghastly!
I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you'll do everything you can to ensure the shooter will serve time in prison for his heinous act. |

| Hi, I run on the spring creek trial quite a bit, actually.It is a nice trail especially towards the end when you get away from noise of the traffic. Yes, I am taking my theory classes at CSU, but for the practical aspect, I have one-on-one private instruction since CSU terminated its guitar program ... |

| I know what you mean; I even hear leaves falling into the ground in a forest - that is the extent and magnitude of my sensitivity. Oh yes, neighbours that can drive you up the wall with their noise. I have three motorcyclists living next door and they too love to torment me with the roar, hiss of th... |

| I too have extreme sensitivity to sound; in fact my life revolves around trying to minimize the effects that sound, and particularly inorganic, mechanical sounds have on me. I wear ear plugs almost all the time, and have a set of ear muffs as well that I keep handy. I live in the basement of my hous... |

| I believe that even if you weren't in the autistic spectrum, you would most likely still be marginalized because you are a woman in her 40s who is childfree. I am 38, female and deliberately child-free and have found great difficulty making friends with women in my age bracket who are mothers. I am ... |

| Hi Tim, Thanks for your note. I could not help but notice your signature about wishing to be in Iceland. I too have always wanted to live in either Iceland or Finland, and hope to visit Finland this coming winter. What draws you to Iceland - the surplus of nature, deficit of humans (the entire islan... |
