Thanks Jae!

Sadly, no telling one of my triggers to “shut up” or “go to your room”!

It is sad that I am actually looking forward to lunch today because not only will I get to talk to the doctor instead of being talked at .. I will get to have a lunch break to myself and treat myself to something that I would like to eat

Again, just venting really but I feel like I have gone from living my life to having no control over my life and what I do and when I do it is now being controlled by others.

Anyhow, I will stop venting now and save it for my appointment today .. wish me luck!

Venting is fine!

I think the invisible Bunny just fell down the stairs!

Down the invisible rabbit hole?

Good Morning Friends

KD I hope you are able to determine and resolve your appetite issues. I agree that it definitely needs checking out.

N F C glad you are feeling better.

Blooie is your ‘button pusher, getting on your nerves’ reasonably new and very active? We may have the same affliction

and .... You guys n' gals crack me up and are a wonderful start to my day!

I have a doctors appointment today, basically just to get a script for my cholesterol medication [coronary artery disease] which I am on for life now. Anyhow, because it will be a short visit, I am thinking I might ask him about my current situation. In summary, from the minute I get up, I am either caring for something, being talked at, helping people at work, working at work or in the house or in the garden. During the week I get 45 minutes a day to myself when I ride my bicycle and walk. I am a quiet person who does not need entertaining and treasures my alone time, of which I am not getting much. I do not like 'loud' or confrontation and there are many loud triggers in my life at the moment which I can feel causing me to tense up. Weekends are great, I retreat to the garden.

Anyways, I am going to ask the doctor if there is anything I can do to 'drown out' these loud triggers. I am jealous of hubby who has the ability to zone out and not hear things and on talking to him, he suggested noise cancelling head phones Kinda obvious sitting across from the dinner table or walking around the house!

I do not want any medication to chill me out, but I am thinking there must be something available .. like a hearing aid I can turn down

I can not fix the cause so hoping to find something that I can do to fix how it makes me feel.

I may just have Misophonia

My button pusher is an old one....got my patties smacked a couple of years ago because I finally got a little sarcastic back one day. NOT happening to me again! But I think I know the other one you are referring to. He/she hasn't pushed yet, but I have no intention of pushing back even if it happens.

I hope you find out that there's something you can do. I know all too well the feeling of "when is it MY turn" and then immediately feeling guilt for even thinking such a selfish thing! People are always telling me to stop doing so much for Kenny and the girls. And then there's Ken's Masonic activities....and on and on it goes. In the meantime, we can be your "peaceful place." Yeah, sure! Have you seen the posts on here? Peaceful?

Good luck - hopefully the doc has some ideas for you.

Our son could talk the hind legs off a donkey and his sister is almost as bad! Occasionally I do plead with them to "pleeease, just be quiet"! For two kids that are stuck with each other 24/7 they aren't really that bad, but some days...! Sounds like their father was exactly the same as a kid. Me - I was the quiet one with my nose in a book who never said "Boo" to a goose. Why couldn't they have been just a little bit more like me?!

Savour your peaceful, delicious lunch.

Thank You!

You're welcome! See? Just never stop, do we?

Because it's when our kids are too much like us that we start butting heads with them! Count yourself lucky!

Already happening between father and daughter! Those teenage years, which aren't far off, are going to be fun!

Oh, there you are! I can now eat my Toasted Twinkie assured that all is good in the world!

You are a hoot

I had that happen when I was out jogging. I would say hi and got now response, even a glance. I began wondering if I had died on the Jog and was a trapped spirit that would run on forever....Then it occurred to me that they were all listening to ear buds....

I’m glad you didn’t die

Tee hee .. I only heard about Misophonia the other day when I was looking for answers/assistance

Thank You!

I am hoping the doc might have some ideas; I would not be the only one and there would be many others tackling the same trials every day. While I am not certifiable at the moment, I am feeling the stress and pressure which is going to get worse, not better as time goes on.

I know for a fact now that I am not cut out to be a nurse

Having you guys n’ gals to talk to is a great help!

I had to look that up also. I’m pretty sure I have that too...or I’m nuts...hmmm....

Kdog are you on any medications that increase appetite. I was briefly on Nardil in the 80's and once sat up and ate an entire 1/2 sheet cake. I would have eaten wall paper too, if the goodies had run out.

Perhaps that was before your ice cream addiction kicked in?

How about some of those ear buds Ron mentioned. Plug in, tune out.
DW has the ability to tune out ANYTHING when she is reading. I bet the house could burn down around her and she wouldn't notice.
