Why do certain noises make me anxious recently when I'm at school I get panic attacks and i think it is from everyone talking around me also the television makes me anxious when it is loud?

Answer 1

I have social anxiety so I understand anxiety when there are a lot of people around you talking. It's very loud and to hear those voices all blend together makes me feel light headed and red. Psychologically, A lot of infants and young children get scared of loud noises. I used to be scared of parties because of this. DO NOT DWELL ON YOUR ANXIETY. Remember they are feelings and no matter what will go away. If you're having breathing problems, yawning helps even a forced yawn. Remember your anxiety comes from a fight or flight response. Remember during fighting times, loud noises would alert us to anything that might harm us so we needed to run or fight for our lives. In today's society, loud noises don't mean that but your brain doesn't know that society is keeping us safe (sort of). Don't feel bad it is actually completely normal from a physiological standpoint. What helps the most is to not think about it. Try not to live in your own thoughts too much. Talk with friends, play a sport or instrument etc... RELAX AND DON'T THINK TOO MUCH This has helped me the most. Just enjoy life, A lot of ugliness in it but some beauty still exists in this world.
