Dear group,

This is my first posting to the list.  I too am a CP with a very
sensitive startle reflex.  I really can relate to the experiences posted
so far.  Potentially anything will make me jump:  a ringing telephone,
someone coming up behind me, a professor pounding the lectern when
making a point, etc.

I just started a new job a few weeks ago.  My new co-workers aren't used
to my jumpiness.  I'm always more jumpy in a new environment.  It's
getting frustrating.

Has any CP with this sensitivity found anything that *he or she* can do
to help this?

Thanks,
Janet
