It took me years to find out that there is a definition of what I had been experiencing for years - misophonia! As a child my eyes used to water when people would sing on stage etc (not emotionally)and this got worse as I grew up.
This now happens when people are eating nearby, chewing their nails, drinking liquids, and the WORST is that I am really affected by some music. What I would class as cheesy music, ballads, any sad music that plays around me I have to move out of the room.
Does anyone have any coping mechanisms they could recommend? Thank you.
