My head is BUZZING!!!

[GuinnessStout]

Today would be a good example... I was in a 3 hour meeting yesterday and was fine had no problem speaking in front of people or anything, today was an hour meeting I swear the clock was ticking so loud it echoed in the room and if the lady next to me brushed off lint from her jeans one more time I might have stabbed her with my pen and why did they have to find the man with the single most annoying voice in the world to speak better yet why was this man a moron and why in the heck where we even having this meeting.. You know I never realized how stupid and annoying the people were I worked with till I was in this tiny room with them.... Lol... I was fine one moment then the next all those thoughts just pop into my head lol usually whenever I start to clinch my jaw or bite my cheek I know an attack is coming on so I start trying to calm myself down in my head or depending on the situation just give in and take my medicine.

OMG... I know what you mean. I hone in on something and then it drives me crazy!!!!! Someone sniffling in a meeting every 30 seconds makes me mental! Any constant movement like someone shaking their foot/leg can distract me to no end. Things do get amplified, like light bulbs buzz or heaters kicking on. When I am doing something that I love I can tune out almost any noise.... but sometimes I can't seem to tune anything out. Ive always thought I was just restless and full of energy.... but maybe it's more than that. I dunno.

Sounds more like anxiety.

I also (when alone) tend to not listen to the radio or watch tv. I prefer to read a book and have things quiet around me. I usually feel that I'm overstimulated after a long busy work day and can't stand the sound of the tv or music. I can't fly on a plane longer than 3 hours I get restless and need to get up, I use the bathroom a lot probably just to move around. I hardly ever go to the movie theatre bc sitting in those seats for a couple hours seems endless to me. I like being outside where there is fresh air to breeze and I don't feel closed in. I like being busy and challenged and don't even know what it feels like to not have 1,000,000 things on my mind or on a to-do list.

This might not be what you want to hear but speak with your Dr and explain these issues and how it is effecting your work, do you at times for no reason have a short fuse temper or just get annoyed at little things? Because it might be something that a small simple pill can help you.
I love doing crafts but sometimes I will just feel like I am not going fast enough or something stupid or it is not perfect enough so I have to step away calm down take my medicine and then go back when I do not feel so overwhelmed and its never anything serious I am doing.

Yup. I snap when I get asked too many questions (my husband tends to ask me 20 questions in a row) and I get frustrated and snap at him. Sometimes I get frustrated or overwhelmed with a task Ive taken on. But then sometimes I am good and have all the patience in the world. arrgg... I know I should talk to a doctor about it all. It does not seem 'right' to me. I never used to be like this until about 3 years ago. Moving into my husbands house. It all overwhelms my neat, organized, little world!

I know a lot of people are againt medicine and some have a pride thing, which I was guilty of but I can tell you now I never leave home without Xanax. If my best friend sees me starting to clinch my jaw she knows to use the "I have to use the bathroom come with me line" because I snap and will just go OFF on somebody but I do it in an odd calm way which at times is rather interesting for my friends to witness lol
We were at a bonfire a couple weeks ago and between music people I did of know and all the action going on it just put me on edge, I never really know when or why an attack will happen but this one girl just happen to pick that moment to ask me in front of everybody why I did not like her and I calmly and very nicely said its because you use people treat your man horrible have no bussiness bringing innocent children into this world because you are unfit mother... There were more reasons I stated but then asshe cried I told her I was sorry the truth was upsetting and asked if she needed a hug.
Lol so at least when I do snap I am nice haha

I am a DEVELOPER. I need some quiet, I need to think really hard and concentrate on how I'm going to code something, but this is the LOUDEST office in the WORLD. Literally my head is buzzing by the end of the day and sometimes around noon time (like today!).

One woman keeps coming to the empty desk behind me and banging around boxes of files, talking to herself, yelling over to other people, etc... The woman in front of scans files ALL DAY LONG on the LOUDEST scanner in the world.... it just buzzes in my head. There is a woman who is from NYC and has the heaviest accent and the LOUDEST voice that carries throughout the office all day long.

I cannot get away from the noise of this place! I really wonder if it's ME, but whenever I'm home and the TV is too loud I get a buzzing in my head. I get intense moments of dizziness almost. Overstimulated. That is how I feel EVERY SINGLE DAY here... overstimulated and under productive.

Doesn't sound like normal stress reaction, fatigue or anxiety, etc. I would see a neurologist and go to one of the Communication Centers that specializes in hearing and other brain sciences to do with sensory involvement. Get this checked out in every way for more than fibromyalgia, etc.
