Hi there :)

I live in an apartment where you can hear almost everything. My neighbors have been really loud for over half a year with music and shouting and it ended with me and my SO filing a complaint (they did not open then door when we buzzed). I haven't lived in a place with quietness for 10 years (since I moved out from home). It has mostly been very loud music. I've finally moved in a family complex expecting children and normal noises (which is still annoying), not the loud music here as well.


I can't do more about the noise and I'm able to move in another apartment in two years. Now it's mostly during the day with the music, and most nights it's just loud talking. I have noise cancelling headphones which does the trick 2 out of 3 times and special made earplugs for sleep. But I now get anxiety just thinking about being home and imagining the music and noises, "small" noises like talking and normal volume music from the neighbors gives me full-blown panic attacks. I've never experienced the noise anxiety like this. I don't know what to do. Lockdown does not make it better. I try to be outside and away from home as much as possible. But this should have been my safe space. I'm currently not depressed but damn, this is not making it easier staying above water.


Have someone experienced bad anxiety from noise and being home like this? Have you gotten better? How?
Advice and the like are very welcome. Thank you.
