I've been searching the web for answers and to find any ideas on helping my 'noise' anxiety.

I live in a 'quiet' country subdivision, but about once a week I literally freak out from the stupidest things (all noise related). I don't know if its because I use to live in a large city (but it never bothered me then) and living at home with my parents my dad, who was hard of hearing, would blast his television all night and I had to try to sleep through that.

I have neighbors on one side of me that rev up there cars and have loud cars coming and going all hours of the night sometimes. There are people that have loud snowmobiles that go by in winter, there are 'booming' cars that goes on for hours. I have areas around me where people come up 'camping' and blast music all day long for a weeks time and that drives me crazy to the point I'm mean to my husband and son (who are perfect), I cry all day, I am shaky and panicky, I feel a sense of urgency and fear, and even when the music is turned off, its still playing in my head, and I just sit and anticipate it starting again, so I can't even function properly. On a good stretch of days where I don't here anything-its like I'm happy and back to my normal self. I am a generally happy person but when noises start I turn into this mean scary monster to my 2 year old and I don't want to be like that anymore.

I try to do things like turn on a fan, shut the windows, focus on playing with my son and that helps a little, but I don't know if this is something I should approach a doctor with. I'm scared I may have to take medications and I don't want to be wacked out with a small child in my care all day.

Right now I'm dealing with the noisy campers. No matter how much I remind myself they'll be gone by the end of the week, I just simply shake and panic for days and I can't control myself.
