Sorry you're dealing with this.

Are you making them Regret being loud every time they are loud? If they don't respond to the incentive of not hurting you, then provide them the incentives that are strong enough to get them to snap out of it.

I have a terrible room bellow is the living room with the damn TV every fking morning drives me crazy.

I’m in exactly the same situation. I tell them constantly that they are causing me pain - let they STILL don’t listen. :(

I'm sorry friends. I've tried everything. I've used my teacher knowledge and tried to explain what's happening from a physical point of view. I've tried explaining that we want mom to be able to heal and noise does not help the healing process. I've tried showing what is a loud noise and how normal sounds are loud. Nothing, nada, zilch.

@twa I don't know what to do anymore. Break the TV? Sue my family? I can't believe the shit I'm going through. Of course it's a Saturday where the music bellow me will FINISH ME OFF AGAIN.

If they don't care whether or not you get hurt, you need to find a way to hurt them bad enough for them to care about avoiding THAT.

I've had to use my smarts and encourage them to go see the grandparents for a few hours of quiet, except for the dog.

A few hours of quiet is less likely to promote your healing. Complete silence for months barely promotes it. There is a chance that you will make progress and feel better 2-3 years after the onset despite the noise. However, there is also a chance that the noise will cause you to lose the opportunity to get your life back 2-3 years from now...
