I've been doing good lately, I have a full time job and have been pretty happy.
I also got accepted by the school I wanted to join, and have been pretty relaxed I guess, although I've been pretty anxious all the time because of T.
There was a party where we met all the people we're gonna go to school with. I didn't really like any of them. It was pretty loud there too. But nowhere near concert-loudness. And I was only inside for maybe 10 minutes. People were talking there, although you had to shout, it was very possible to have a conversation.
This was 3 days ago. Ever since, I've been extremely anxious. I noticed that my own voice, especially the letters f, t, s and p made my whole body cringe. I was thinking hyperacusis, I've struggled with what I thought was H before, but gotten completely over it when I stopped focusing on it. Phonophobia is more plausible I think.
Yesterday and the day before was horrible. I have a stand up gig on thursday (only 5 minutes, but a lot of people in the business are there to watch), and I want to do well. But if I can't talk, I'm gonna be a shitty comedian.
Today however, I seem to talk without cringing too much, I can say any sound without cringing. That is very good, that it seems to go away after only 3 days. But it is obviously connected to severe anxiety.
Why this sudden super-increase in anxiety? Am I suddenly nervous about next year, or was the sound too loud at that place?
Another reason i don't think it's hyperacusis is that I cringe also when I saw these sounds without hearing them, like out in loud traffic. And the skin on my whole skull feels very tense, feels very good to massage it.
I'm going to book an appointment with a psychiatrist for the anxiety tomorrow.
