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?
@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

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.
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.
