I've been the same was since I was 16 (i'm 29 now), I was surprised it didn't affect me nearly as badly this year. I have had some changes that may have affected that and made it not so bad this year. I moved in with my fiance when he bought a house in June. Compared to the old place where I had a small room that I stayed in most of the time, sirens constantly, highway noise, this place just makes me happier in general. A lot more space, over .8 acres of land, and I hear sirens maybe once a month. I am also surrounded by healing crystals now. The other change is being here and having some form of social interaction.
