Sound/Light Sensitivity?

[[lo...]]

Hey BBs,

 

Does anyone else develop light/sound sensitivity? Particularly, I feel like my brain is paying acute attention to sounds that never consciously registered with me before. Like car breaks creaking, train going by, air conditioning, etc. I knew they were all there, it's just not something that I paid attention too. Now it feels like I jump at every noise. And same with light, I'll notice lights flicker. It's like I am hypervigilant all of a sudden.

 

Thanks,

LDR

Yes very, I feel most comfortable with only the light from my TV and laptop and my TV sound very low. I struggle through the day when my kids are up having the doors and windows open the sunlight and the lights on. I will find myself taking small breaks in the bathroom with the light off.

Light and sound sensitivity is very common in withdrawal.  Fluorescent lights in the stores (when I was desperate enough to venture out) were torture.  Someone's sudden cough made me leap out of my skin. 

 

It will eventually go away.  Til then we just sort of do what we can to avoid light and sound.  Some people were sunglasses inside to help with the light sensitivity.

Challis, did you have it after you jumped as well? Did you find you were paying attention to sounds you never would before?
