Hi,
I have recently developed a real sensitivity to bright/flashing lights and loud noises and I am assuming its to do with my anxiety and panic, does anyone else have this problem?
Mainly I find flashing lights, even fairy lights at xmas, made me tense and anxious so I had to try to shield myself from it, and also driving at night I'm increasingly easy to be dazzled by head lights.
The loud noises are more problematic, I found myself rushing to the bathroom and bursting into tears at my best friends birthday party this weekend as there was loud music and 15 people shouting and laughing as you do at a party. But it all got too much and I had to get out of the noise as it made me freak out.
This has happened before in a lesser way when I have been with new people so I was on edge anyway, but this was a room of my closest friends, it really scared me and I don't want it to happen again but not sure what the cause of it is.
Anyone had the same or heard of reasons for it?? Thanks.
