>>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
