Hello,
My daughter diagnosed herself with misaphonia about two years ago after suffering from intolerance to certain sounds for a few years. She says she feels pain when she hears the triggering sounds and feels very anxious and angry. It's very hard for her to be among the family at times and very hard for us to cope with her rages if we sip drinks, sniff, cough or sing (just my singing - not the rest of the family's - it must be bad!). I know from finding previous threads today that there are fellow sufferers (and their parents or siblings) here on MN and sympathise with you and wonder if anyone has found any treatments that work. My daughter tried CBT for this but did not find it helpful at that time, though she was suffering from anorexia at that time, so maybe this is unsurprising. She had too much to cope with. She is at university now and is beginning to open up to trusted friends about her problem, which I think has helped her. Any advice or thoughts anyone? I worry for her; so many things are difficult for her - public transport, public spaces, social gatherings.
