1. I didn't know what it was, but I'm right there with you...

My major annoyance is teenagers endless cell phone chirping or vibrating announcing a text. Or mouth breathers in meetings at work. I become so obsessed on it, then I get frustrated/annoyed, then I get annoyed at myself for being obsessive about it. Vicious cycle.

I was having extreme anxiety earlier this year with the coming of the cicadas...They last time this brood or swarm or whatever they are came, I literally thought I was going to lose my mind from the constant noise. I was VERY lucky that my new house only had a few and with the windows closed I couldn't hear them.

My boyfriend teases me that I should have been on a naval sub (I seem to hear noises that no one else can hear) to detect enemy subs from great distances using sonar. All I know that being extremely sensitive to noises sucks sometimes! Nice to know there is a name for it and others can relate.

If you try the EFT, let us know how it goes!
