Living with chronic illness & a Neurological disorder - #FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder - is hard enough without having to spend most of the day watching tv & listening to music through noise-cancelling headphones because of the constant noise of power tools, hammering & general noise coming from my neighbours’ flat that is being renovated on the other side of our paper-thin, shared, walls. The none-stop noise & vibrations from heavy items being moved & clattered around constantly is really starting to fry my brain, use #spoons I don’t have & is really, really, grinding me down mentally, emotionally & physically. Which doesn’t help when it’s been a day when I have really needed to rest & take things easy.
I wouldn’t mind so much if this was over a short timeframe or within daytime hours but this has been going on for months now, on random days, with the noise starting at 7am - 8am & not ending until 10pm - 11pm with several hours during the afternoon & early evening where the contractors seem to disappear.
I’m exhausted, stressed, annoyed & feeling like I can’t even get my brain to process things very well. I feel like I’m going to explode from all the noise, frustration & tension that feelings like it’s frying my brain.
