I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 10 (with other learning disabilities). I also have had the diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety and depression along the way. I have managed to combat my ADHD symptoms and am not on any medication right now.

For the past 7 years I have worked beside a restaurant that blasts music. We have given up complaining to them and the landlord. Nobody cares.

Right now this music (the bass, the beats) is driving me absolutely crazy. I want to punch the walls. I want to go over and yell at them. I CANNOT block this sound out.

This has been an ongoing issue. I HATE NOISE, especially repetitive noises like ticking clocks, clicky shoes and basketballs. These thing actually enrage me and I cannot tune them out, I get so tense I end up with a headache. My neighbor snores and I can hear it through the wall and I end up smacking the wall because it's so annoying, my baby sleeps in the room with me and I have actually woken her up because I am trying to get the stupid neighbor to wake up and stop snoring.

I do my best to block noise out. At work I have a fan on right now trying to block it out-but of course it's bass that I am hearing so it's hard. Ear plugs won't help. At home with the snoring neighbor I have a white noise machine and I turn my head to the bottom of the bed, but my daughter sleeps with me a lot so I end up having to turn back to the side the neighbor is on because my daughter might roll out of bed if I am on the other side. I cannot move my bed to another wall because of vents and things. My husband doesn't sleep in the bed because he snores loud and likes to watch tv when he falls asleep which I can't deal with.

I am curious, do these kinds of noises bug anyone to the degree that they bug me? Is this an ADHD thing? Because I honestly think the level to which they bother me are similar to how much noises can bother someone with autism. I don't think I have autism, but I am just curious because I seriously go mental with noise. I have tried to explain it to people but nobody gets it. It's not a minor irritation, it's seriously causing me distress.

Thanks
