Sensory Overload - very loud retail workspace

I work at a glasses store and we use a machine to make lenses on site that can be unbelievably loud at times.
Have you used a noise cancelling product that still allowed to to talk on the phone? If so please let me know... I'm all ears! (Hehe) #overstimulation #SensoryOverload #loudnoise #Anxiety #question #soundsbotherme

I QUIT ....DON'T MAKE FUN OF ME!!!

I had ths job that at 1 point I liked. But as time went on I felt like I was getting picked on.. Even though I explained to them I suffer from manic ddepression disorder bipolar schizophrenia etc. So some days I'm up and some days I'm down. But I'm here! So stop picking on me for little things. Well before I knew what Misophonia was I would hear certain sounds and I would begin too get angry and cry. And it was scary because I'm like WTH is wrong w me🤦🏿‍♀️. Well I politely asked the supervisor tht wawas making that whistling sound to please stop because it hurt my ears. And I asked several times. Well for awhile he did, but then everyday he would start that horrible singing. Again I asked politely if he could stop. But by ths time he was whistling and singing on purpose to upset me. At least thts how I felt. So I wore my head phones to block out all of the noises..The relief I felt was amazing🙏🏿.. But then my big boss told me I couldn't have them , I explained and explained that I can't handle certain sounds I don't know why🤷🏿‍♀️. And how they made me feel. Well she laughed and said hes been making these noises before why is it bothering you now? 😒I told her because I went to him first to see if he would stop! At tht point I got so damn frustrated😥😡 because they weren't listening. So she did speak to him but I was getting laughed at behind my back. So I left. My mental illness/health is nothing to laugh at. Simply put I got tired of being the butt of their jokes #Misophonia
