anyone else have misophonia?

Question

if you have it, please please drop your coping skills in the comments!

Answer

since I see a lot of people don't know what it is: misophonia is a disorder in which certain, often repetitive sounds (chewing, sniffing, slurping, tapping, etc) cause intense anger, anxiety, panic, and/ or disgust

Answer

My boyfriend and I both have it, though his was actually identified by a professional. He really struggles with it every day, especially with his family because they just tell him to “grow up”. For anyone who doesn’t know, it’s certain sounds or habits that put your teeth on edge and sometimes make you want to physically lash out. My boyfriend has it mostly with chewing and I have it with chewing, snapping, and scratching. It’s seriously so frustrating and I often leave the room if I feel angered until I can cool off and get head phones. Other than that, I haven’t found a way to get over it.

Answer

I guess I do....

Answer

Honestly just try to listen to music or take up a hobby to keep you distracted that’s what I do

Answer

Had it for at least 8years. One of my ex’s left the room while he ate cereal once so I wouldn’t “sit there with my fingers in my ears clenching my teeth”. I now cope by leaving the room myself or putting earphones in while other people chew 😷 when I’m due on though or had a particularly stressful day I really want to force my fist down whoever’s eating’s throat so they hurry up and the noise is gone 😣
