Oh My Aching Head Stop TheWorld I want to Get Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go for a walk. Listen to a cd player. earplugs. Do you have your own room? If so go hide in there. Take care

Either they talk too much or they argue endlessly..I am sorry you went through this Hatley, my husband did as well yesterday and I knew what he was up against. My daughter is looking for a car and has this idea that she wants to see this car on this lot that is at least 50 miles away and it is a five speed..Problem is, the ONLY people she knows who can drive a car like that is my husband and I. Of course I don't even like to test drive an automatic let alone a manual, and I told her this. So she talked her dad into going with her, her brother and her boyfriend on this trip in one small car.. While everyone was still here, I could already sense the tension between my daughter and her boyfriend over her need to see this car even though there were many others to see, she just had to see this one car. Sure enough I get a call hours later, daughter and boyfriend got into it and she walked away. She only went into Walmart to call her boss, I guess to tell her about the fight, but her dad was highly upset. I couldn't help but laugh though, because I knew what was coming and my husband should have seen it too, but he didn't. Of course your situation is different, these people are right where you are and though I experienced it a little before everyone left, I can relate and I hope you are feeling better....

Your roommate has a form of dementia, right? I think you said that she did. And if that is the case, I feel for you. You have to have the patience of a saint to get along well with someone with that.

There are times that I just need some peace and quiet! I know that I could never be a teacher because I can't deal with the noise. I don't think your nuts. When it gets like that, a lot of the time, I will just go outside and hope for a little quiet time.

People at times just talk to darn much! I spend most of my time in my room by myself. I felt bad the other day when both my daughter and my grandson came in(different times) and seems to want to spend some time and wanted to yack. I was watching the end of a really good movie. I felt bad later when they had both gone and found other things to occupy themselves and I was ready to yack!

Hi Miss Hatley Nope you are not bananas! Kathy must be lonely and unfortunately she is wanting to talk all the time. However, the banana feeling is warranted, because it does seem like some people can speak endlessly. Ignore her like you do and she will get the message that no one is listening. Oh how it must be irritating. Glad the pain pill kicked in, maybe it is time to get some ear plugs or maybe Kathy could use some bananas? A few bananas will keep her busy from talking so much for a few minutes.

No my dear Hatley, I am the same way. I spent today at work in an under construction supermarket and they keep banging the shelves loudly, or drilling into sheet metal and creating this horrible high-pitched noise. My nerves were shot after 8 hours of this! I came home and Jim (my boyfriend) has a small Westie mixed breed dog and he began barking right behind me--Jim was waiting for me to come home so he could take a nap! I really can't take his dog barking most days, but today was the breaking point! And if I'm in pain (like I am currently because of my jaw), I REALLY can't the the extra input. I hope things quiet down soon for you and I'm glad to hear that you're not in pain.

No, my dear, you are not nuts. I know some people who don't know how to put a lid on it. Needless to say I don't spend time with them at all. I can't stand that. There's a time to speak and a time to be quiet. That's actually a Bible quote. Some people don't know how to do the quiet part. I don't have a situation like you do but if I did, I would go from wanting to shout to actually shout that everyone shut up. Then depending on the circumstance, I'd either ask everyone to leave or I'd leave myself. I can not stand noise like that. I hope things quiet down for you soon.

I don't like people who talked to much. Specially if it is very loud. I have a co-associates that we always argue because I don't like him the way he open up a things. He is clueless. Aside from that he is very boastful. Most of the time I always keep away from him. His feeling he is smart and knows everything, which is not and far away from his word. He always make mistakes on his assignment and all his mistakes will come to me because I am his superior. It add my headache everyday.

Yes, they sure can. One day while rideing on the bus there was this guy that was like ina argument with gf on the phone. Belittling her all the while and argueing. He was really getting on my nerves. Then oh no he transfered on to the same bus i did. Worse yet he was going to the same place i was. At least he stopped after arriving at our destination. Mine you that taking the bus sometimes takes up to a hour or more. All the while this was going on. I mean if it was me on either end of the phone i would have gotten fed up and hung up on him. But i guess some people love misery. I was trying to read but gave up because of this arrogant male.

hI hATLEY, Bless your hearti'm sorry u have to put up wthe things that u do.no, u are not bananas, u just need some peace & quiet. I am glad that i am by myself & don't have to piut up w/things like this. pEOPLE CAN BE VERY STRESSFUL!

Oh, yes, you are so right. Not just 'st times' but I think people talk too much most all of the time. I think it is their way of compensating for not having anything worthwhile to say. In the case of your roommate, she can't help it with the Alzheimer's. Don't think she could even be insulted into keeping quiet. With your recent accident and still being in pain, I think you are more suseptible to annoyances. You're not 'bananas'; you're going to be touchy for a little while. Stick some earbuds into your ears and listen to some good classical music while you're at the computer. Maybe that will help.

You have not heard talking until you have met my husband! He can literally talk nonstop all day. It drives me insane!!!!! He talks so much he makes veryone forget what they are doing, thinking etc. It has gotten so bad I had to see a psychiatrist myself to keep from losing my mind. My daughter does not even want to come home from school and has even cried because he will not shut up. I finally talked him into seeing a doctor to try and get him calmed down. I sure hope it works! And yes, it can get to be too much, you are not crazy.

You need not stay in place where you get upset,find one that will give you peace of mind or else you will get old faster than your age. It is soothing and relaxing once you find one.

People definitely do talk too much. As I remember your room mate has dementia. If so, it may get worse. Can you wear headphones to drown some of this out. I think so me really good head phones would be a worthwhile investment.

Oh yes, Hatley you are so right. Sometimes it just gets to be too too much. I get to the point I just want to scream from the top of the mountain or at someone I really don't care. It just gets to be too much at times. I have had a headache for over a month but now I have new glasses so I'm hoping that helps. The seizers also give me headaches. But the people and things I have to do will do it too. Hang in there. You may need to do as I do...just get away from everyone from time to time. Find something to do.

ABSOLUTELY! and they always seem to chose the times when we feel our worst don't they? I have been tempted to find a plug and shove it into some mouths!

Oh no, Hatley. You are not nuts. When you are trying to concentrate on something or even just relax, there is nothing more irritating than someone who just goes on and on and on about probably nothing. Even worse is when they are arguing and shouting. That is always difficult to listen to.

Hi Hatley, No incessant chatter give most people a headache! Because you have to share a room it must make it very difficult for you to get some peace and quiet and I personally would find this very frustrating, especially if I was trying to concentrate on something on the computer or reading a book. Huggles. Ellie :D

R talks too much. So does Dearra, but at least she's funny and interesting...
