Trying To Be Free of the Noise

I have so much sensory stimulation that surrounds me at any moment. What really is this experience like for someone like me? Well, let me try to do it justice.

Can you imagine living in the midst of every slight sound being made around you and pulling your attention far away from what it is supposed to be attending to? I really want to be able to stop this from happening, and I try by cleaning out my ears constantly, or by drowning out the noise with my voice or with my music at the highest possible volume. But none of my efforts provide the relief that I need so desperately.

Can I withstand the onslaught much longer? This is what I am grappling with at any given moment. Wanting to be free.
