Uh oh. In borderline meltdown mode thanks to... recent events, and the metal band next door is rehearsing with the windows open.

Abnormally warm temperatures are producing some seriously weird consequences.

Band practice seems to be done. Exhale.

Itโ€™s pretty wild when you reflect on an entire lifetime of being noise-sensitive and finally realize itโ€™s because of a #neurodivergent brain. Would it have been easier to cope when I lived in an apartment if Iโ€™d been aware? Iโ€™ll never know.

What I do know is that I do not do well in captivity aka a city ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ And have better insights as to why that is.

Have you tried dancing to their music?
I find loud music works much better when I dance to it.

Dancing is the best stim.

@andytiedye Itโ€™s not clear enough, which makes it more difficult to cope with. Unidentifiable but very intrusive noise. But they donโ€™t practice very long, for which I am very grateful.
