Can noise cause bad things to happen?

Postby nann » Wed May 09, 2012 11:03 am

This is really personal so I need respectful help, please.
For the passed decade, I've developed a mental disorder where I believe noise causes bad things to happen, such as your car breaking down, or you slam your elbow on the countertop, or you spill juice everywhere. Part of me says that noise makes that happen and part of me says that s**t happens. If your car breaks down, it's a mechanical error, right?
Also, it has mainly been attributed to my mother. When she cooks, all the pots and pans clinging made me feel like they ONLY affect me. Also, lately, my dad has been attributed to this belief. In the past, he never bothered me, but now he does.
My friends' noises don't bother me that much. It's probably just me, right? I'm mentally ill.
Do you think there is some unknown property to noise that I can somehow sense and it only affects me? That wouldn't explain why it's mainly just my mom and a little bit of my dad. I question if I'm somehow cursed by my mother's noise. That wouldn't explain why just recently my dad has been bothering me.
Sorry if you think I'm insane, but I really need help. I've seeked dozens of psychologists/psychiatrists and they all say it's just in my head, but I can't believe it. I try so hard to convince myself.
Thank you for reading. Please - positive/helpful answers only. I'm very sensitive to this problem. I've thought about getting on Yahoo Answers for years.

No it can't. You need therapy if you believe otherwise as it's bordering on OCD.

I too am very sensitive to noise of any kind. I get very upset if it lasts more than a few seconds. If the noise is loud (like a screaming baby) I just about go insane trying to get away. I can no longer go the movie theater because of the volume of the movie, other people don't seem to mind.

My wife makes a lot of noise but she does try to tone it down because she know how much it upsets me. I even hate day to day noise like taps, oven doors, utensils, newspaper, etc.

You said psychologists/psychiatrists say it's just in my head, well that's true, so why don't the morons give you some drugs to help you cope with?

I understand your grief, just remember the doctors are supposed to help you not tell you there is nothing they can do. Switch doctors and get some help.
