How can i make a room quieter?

Q. My infant daughter's room faces a large common yard in my townhouse complex and it has 2 windows. It's so loud out there, dogs, kids playing, lawnmowers etc. It always sounds like a monster truck rally in there. I already have blinds and curtains up in the room but for some reason that room lets in more of the noise than the room below it which actually has more windows and an exterior door. What can I doo to make it quieter up there?

A. You could buy some sound absorbing fabric that's found in recording studios and such.


Painters - How much do you charge for a room?
Q. I'm a student painter, and sometimes we have trouble estimating the right price.

How much do you guys charge for a average medium-sized room? Lets assume that this room is big enough to use up 80%-100% of a gallon. This includes 2 coats on walls, one coat on baseboard, and no ceilings.

A. 350 is a fair price if they buy the paint.


How am I supposed to get through being agoraphobic at 16 without messing up my life?
Q. Yes. I am 16 years old and I think I am becoming agoraphobic. I'm so completely terrified of leaving my room, let alone the house. I start having mental breakdowns when I leave my home. I don't know how to get through this without failing out of school, or messing up my future. I've been skipping school because of my fear and I know that's bad. I'm scared to talk to my parents about it too.

A. AGORAPHOBIA often occurs as a result of having had a panic attack in a public place, and not wanting to repeat that experience outside of a place where someone feels safe, which is usually at home, in a place where they feel exposed, and unable to get help quickly.

Beckfield, from your bookstore, or amazon.com. At the first sign of one, employ an ANTI PANIC ATTACK breathing technique. Advice from a clinical psychologist is to breathe in to the count of 3: (one thousand one; one thousand two; one thousand three) each takes around a second to say to yourself, in your mind, and out to the count of 3. Keep repeating this until the panic subsides, which will deal with the hyperventilation aspect.

Address the underlying cause, which requires some form of therapy; see your-mental-health.8m.com, below, re anxiety, on pages 1, h, & i.

Others use Passionflower, Lavender tea, Lemon Balm, Chamomile, but use no milk or cream with herbal teas, or Valerian (caution: use it for 3 weeks at most!). Know how these affect you before driving, or doing anything dangerous, and it is far better to use the treatments, rather than relying on herbal remedies, except short term. Free online PANIC COURSE - www.panic-attacks.co.uk also available by email. See the section on panic attacks at www.mind.org.uk also Ebooklet form. They recommend letting a panic attack run its course, without doing anything to treat it, so you KNOW you will survive it. The usual maximum is 30 minutes, until symptoms begin to subside.
