Hey,
Is there anyone else here who is sensitive to background noises such a clock ticking?
Other examples would be noise from the central heating or the fridge.
If this affects you, when did it start? For me it was after my first suspected case of pyschosis.
Very much so. Electricity flowing from through outlets into plugs was probably the most extreme for me - there was a period when I had to unplug everything every night in order to sleep. Otherwise the sound kept me awake.
This started for me when I was a teenager, but whether before or during or after psychosis, I couldn’t tell you.
Am kinda the opposite. I like a droning background sound. For instance if I can’t sleep I put on a fan and it usually gets me asleep.
