Did you know? Baby crying +Anxiety = bad combination

Fact: There have been studies done that babies crying effect the human brain. One says it invokes the flight and fight response. It is also said that it effects women differently as well.

Reason of relevance: My house just got a new tenant with a young child and this young child has been screaming crying on and off as of late. The vents aren't sound proofed so I can hear the crying.

I found out that not being able to do anything about the crying will push me to in to melt down zone. Also I have figured out why I have such a short fuse lately, apparently I don't sleep well when a child crys so my last half on my wonky sleep schedule is during when the possible teething child has been crying the past few days. So it has been lots of fun. Doesn't help I am empathetic as a open wounded some days.

Bright Side: I now know this is something I will have to work on when I have my own children. Learning to manage my anxiety and the emotional response will be on the check list "need to have a handle on before i give life to an innocent baby"

Any advice?

May you all have wonderful days.
