Triggers

All. The no dairy thing was going well until our office brought in cheesy nachos for cinco de mayo. I caved. Whoops. I'll pay for it later but the nachos were so darn good.

Secondly, I've noticed that as my anxiety has increased over the past 10 months, I'm ultra sensitive to loud noises and they make me jump a lot more frequently than the average human. For example, when I'm driving and zoning out and someone in the passenger screams or talks at an octave that's borderline yelling, it startles me. This is true with dog barking, loud bangs, whatever else. It didn't bother me as much before but now I'm Sooo sensitive to it.

Does anyone else experience this?

I have many days when this happens to me. Today at the rheumatologist I just wanted to shut off the TV in the waiting room. The Price Is Right was on, and it was making me crazy. I had already been there 40 minutes past my appt. time, so I was afraid to leave the room for fear they'd call my name. I really wanted to run away, but had to breathe through it.
