Sitting in the bus after a day at work. Feeling tired. The meeting that ended the day dragged on and I stopped even trying to follow the discussion. I haven't listened to music in a bus in ages but now I find myself thinking that maybe I should buy a set of noise-canceling headphones.
The bus is hissing loudly, there are conversations that I can't hear which somehow makes them even more annoying. On top of all I'm sitting under a loudspeaker that plays the stop signal in a very loud tone. Shit, it rang again and startled me. Why does it have to be that loud?
If you don't feel like listening to music or anything earplugs might be a more economical option. Various suppliers sell these in very silencing variants. Here's one but there's more out there.

Until I started wearing earphones and earplugs regularly. I didn't even begin to realise how much of my, I can normally cope, was actually, I can spend energy I don't have ignoring the fact that I'm not really coping and how stressed out by that fact I am.
@LehtoriTuomo You do?? need to treat yourself to a pair of noise cancelling headphones. It is much harder to block irritants when you are tired. @actuallyautistic
