I'm not sure if this is the right section, but could not find one that seemed more appropriate, and since I never posted on here before I thought it at least makes some default sense to post here. If this is the wrong section or you would rather this not be on here at all please just let me know so I can delete everything instead of it getting locked or something, thank you.
So anyway, I was diagnosed with Asperger's quite some years back, but that's pretty much where it got left... "this is what you are, now go away, no one cares" was pretty much it. So that's all I got with that, but that's been like that most of my life with a zillion different things anyway so I'm used to it and just came to the point I want to be left alone anyway.
But what I can't deal with is noise. Noise makes me insane, literally, literally insane. And I heard that's common with those with this?
I don't know where to go to get help so that I can have quiet in my own home.
Like I mean I don't know how to find the right people to help me with this to make it stop. I'm extremely desperate.
The situation is completely stupid, and I don't even know where to start. General gist though; There is this "business" which has been destroying my peace for what must be 20 years or so now. And there is a lot to it and it's been going on so long that I don't want to live anymore.
I've had a migraine to the point I feel like I'm going to vomit, for the last 9 weeks.
The worst part is, they know, they fully know, and it seems to make them do it more.
Why is wanting peace and quiet inside your own home, so you can sleep, and read, and paint, and function such a horrible crime?
I don't know who I'm suppose to contact, I wanted to ask here because I thought maybe there might be someone else here who understands what noise can do to someone instead of treating me like a "crazy person" and help me to find the right people or person.
I am extremely desperate right now, and have no idea what else to do.
I'm not a social person, I don't leave the house anymore, I hate being around people and talking to them, I decided a while ago to just close off a bubble and forget I'm stuck on this horrible world and and dream, write, read and paint and be left alone until I eventually die, but now all I want to do is die because I've been deprived of these tiny things, and they were my only reasons to exist.
If anyone knows who I can contact, please contact me.

Hey Ze welcome. :sunny:

Have you tried noise cancelling head gear?

Many Aspies on WP use them to help with sensory issues to noises.

If you don't get any more responses in this thread you might want to post this in our General forums. You will get more responses and help there.

I do have a pair of those ones which are suppose to be used when using a chainsaw, I often use them when I have to vacuum or something because I get an ear ache for hours if I don't. They don't work with this enough to block it out. Plus I can't sleep with them on, they are large with hard plastic outer shells... I also can't wear them constantly for more then a half hour or else the pressure messes up the spot where my jaw connects (I got hurt as a kid, never healed right). Those things are great when I have to do something for a short time which will make a noise which will hurt my ears, but totally useless with this. Sometimes this stuff can be heard three blocks away.... all day.

Hi Ze,

please see the doctor and insist to get an epilepsy test. Epilepsy is often not recognised, especially if you don't have fits (like my husband never did, until once and suddenly it was then diagnosed that he had been borne with it), but still the brain works funny. It can be easily spotted with an EEG.

Since he has been diagnosed with epilepsy (7 years ago), and put on medication, his migraine has disappeared and even his depressive phases have reduced in numbers.

What I really don't understand why most doctors don't know this connection between migraines, depression, noice sensitivity and epilepsy. They give you tables against migraine but never go any further.

Epilepsy is a brain disorder as is aspergers. They are both connected. Unfortunately. Therefore, if you have one it's not unlikely you have the other one as well.

But is can be treated! This I know! And it gets better with treatment. :)

Repetitive beats have always tended to make me trance out and well as something in my head keeps following the pattern for a while afterwards, sometimes for hours. I'll often try to fight back from it happening, which leads to not good things. The headaches and migraines for me are usually easy to trace the source of. I had wondered about epilepsy before because of how my brain starts to repeat the patters on me without my control and I can't function right, as well as something weird which happened in my sleep a few times, and also because I often, randomly, do that blank gap out stare across the room thing, even without noise, stress does it sometimes, but other times it's semi random, (my father used to do this too). But unlike everyone I ever met with epilepsy I think I'm usually aware of stuff when I gap out. And I've had a few EEGs over the years without anyone ever saying anything was wrong.
I actually refuse to take medications for almost anything, pain killers never worked right with me, they just made my stomach hurt and my ears ring.

Hi Ze,

we actually went to the Dresden Epilepsy Center in Germany. They are world known for their epilepsy research, and you, being from the UK, are covered by the NHS for medical treatment anywhere in the EU (as long as the Brexit hasn't been executed, anyway :wink: ).

It was a long odyssey to get it properly diagnosed.
