Misophonia

[loveforautumn]

Does anyone else suffer with it?! I'm sat here listening to my husband SLURP his gravy and it's knocking me sick 😂 i dread dinner times, puts me in a bad mood
Is there even a cure for this awful problem? Misophonia not the husband 😂

Nothing helps. I've tried the lot, from hypnosis to antidepressants all they did was remove the need for noise as a trigger (made things worse i a way!)

Noiseless jiggling of feet, the anticipation of a clicky pen being clicked. I cannot look. I get the same rage.

and @CanteringAlong , no not generally ND - misophonia must be some sort of auditory processing disorder, but with the visual element added, can't help thinking it is some form of ND.

I have chronic sinus issues which have affected my hearing and I think that makes my misophonia worse. I work at home and thankfully have very little noise most of the day. My worst triggers at the moment are DH eating (natch), DS bouncing a ball in the next room - the repetitive thudding is maddening - and also if someone is sharing the sofa with me and they tap the seat or adjust their position with a thud - it actually sends my whole nervous system into meltdown. It's hard to explain to people who don't have it - it's a physical sensation akin to pain.

I also have trypophobia!! The very description on Google (i had to check it to make sure it was the right one) sent me into a cold sweat. How could they be linked??!!

Euuuurgh - trypophobia. I have that too.

Also have issues with non-audible things such as jiggling legs, people twiddling their hair, my husband moving his feet constantly - I have to build a cushion wall on the sofa so I can't see it.

I'd pay so much money to "cure" me - it's really getting in the way of normal life now.
