Hi Louis,
Nice to hear from you again! Thank you for sharing your hardest triggers to manage currently: music and radio advertisements.
I can relate in a way — too much noise in certain places (restaurants, hairdressers, supermarkets) is uncomfortable for me too, and it can lead to stress, which is actually my hardest trigger to manage. I try to handle it by choosing calmer restaurants and going at hours when these places aren't as crowded.
How have you been managing these triggers? Have you stopped listening to music and turning on the radio altogether? Does the same happen when you're watching TV and ads pop up?
Chris

Hi Chris,

Apologies for missing your message!

Sometimes it’s the thought or belief I’ll experience an aura somewhere out there which gives me this sense of paranoia. And that in turn is also a trigger. It’s really hard to explain.

As for music, I’m actually listening to more now so that my mind will have more tunes to hum to. That sort of lowers my chance of experiencing an aura.

My sister just introduced me to listening to a classical piece by Mozart (v.448). It’s sort of been proven to decrease frequency of seizures. You can find a rendition of that piece by pianists on YouTube. I’m still seeing if it works! The power of classical music.

Cheers,
Louis
