Loud noises?!
Question:
Loud noises?
As fourth of july draws nearer neighbors begin to start shooting firecrakers. Ever since I was little I've always been terrified of loud sudden noises, like fireworks/crakers, balloons popping, a dog bark. etc. I can take long loud noise like music blasting, a lawn mower going etc. Is there any way to get rid of this fear? For 4th of july i used to stuff tissue in my ears, then a few years later blast my iPod on the loudest songs I have (it was its own playlist).well i dont have the iPod anymore and tissue dosn't work. I need to get over this, I'm 15. Plus if its parties my mum will make fun of me for plugging my ears. She'll call me a wimp and wussy. I can't take another second of it. Its also embarsing to have to tell a friend about. Please any ideas?
