Silence.

I have this like, thing, with silence. it's not like a fear, but I do seem to get more anxious and notice my symptoms more when it's silent.
During the day I always have either the tv or music on, even when I'm sat on the doorstep having a cig I have to have the music on my phone playing, if my battery dies while I'm out side I get really anxious.
It's like I'm only ok with the silence when I'm ready to go to sleep.
anyone else experienced anything like this?
thank you :)

Yup, that's me too. I think it's cause in silence we have nothing else to distract our attention away from our thoughts.

I often sleep with the tv on just to avoid silence. News 24 often does it for me, even if it does cause some weird dreams, lol.

lol.
well I manage that, I can go to sleep with out noise, but only when I'm really tired.
I usually have the music or tv on until I'm that tired that it won't take me long to fall asleep = )
