How do you deal with sounds you hate?

@Nightcoffee365 6 лет назад

It’s rare for me, so I can just power through when it comes up. It’s all about styrofoam. I can’t isolate the exact sound that trips me up, but some of the squeaks and squeals rubbing styrofoam can make just knots up my gut. The closest parallel feeling is a really disgusting, sickening smell; I get “grossed out”.

@elif6908 6 лет назад

I drown the stressing sounds with other sounds, podcasts, music etc. My triggers include analog clock sound so I am trying to convince my household to replace them. And I meditate to cope with the constant stress that my loud house generates.

@milenaarnkil4354 6 лет назад

For me the worst trigger sounds are wet mouth noises like chewing. It makes me absolutely furious. Luckily it doesn't bother me when I do it myself, and actually mimicking the sound sometimes helps a little bit. I think it helps because it puts me more in control of the situation.

@jpp855 6 лет назад

Run awayyy...fast...ou i kill anyone

@drali 6 лет назад

Ah...medications, I should have probably mentioned that in my video. While there's no FDA approved drug for misophonia in the United States (since it's not a real diagnosis yet and there's no research on treatment), I could see medications like clonazepam being helpful for some people.

@Naderade 6 лет назад

Does anyone else want to destroy anything in front of you when a sound irritates you?

@drali 6 лет назад

That sounds like a intense anger response that many have described in relation to misophonia.

@Gravy_Goat_55 6 лет назад

I have thoughts about killing someone quite often when pushed enough, especially when they trigger my misophonia. I had the thought of smashing someone in the head with their laptop over and over again until they were unconscious. Or I either wish to smash my head into the wall until I pass out or do something extravagant. I usually listen to music to block out the sounds.

@jacobharding5843 4 года назад

“Get over it” “just ignore it” “oh shut up” that’s all what I hear when I try to explain it to people. They don’t know what it’s like. Those triggers ruin my life

@ElectricAlien577 4 года назад

Reading all these people describing my experiences made me break down and cry. No one understands unless they have it. No one takes it seriously. Its a mental prison i cant escape. Im so used to being mocked and dismissed, I just repress my feelings as hard as i can to appear normal.

@drali 6 лет назад

I've heard that exactly wish, wanting to scream or lash out, from a lot of people who experience misophonia.

@emmneto 6 лет назад

I have also experienced that, but in the couple of times it got really bad my anger turned into panic as a result of not being able to let it out.

@zer0studi0s37 6 лет назад

I have the same problem. My brother would always chew loudly and I wanted to smack him across the face! My mom and dad never understanded my problem. So now I just sit in peace in my room, throwing pillows around. What is wrong with me? I also have a frontal lisp so everytime I pronounce an s, it makes a whistling sound. It bothers me a lot. Trust me, your better off than I am.

@Gravy_Goat_55 6 лет назад

I have bottled my anger for years, i cannot let it out, it is too overwhelming. I get enraged at the noises, very fidgety trying to stand them for a minute, i want to rip off my ears, hit my head etc. people treat it as a joke or something like that and legit use it against you, i do not like many students knowing of my condition. I constantly listen to music, nothing else i can do to be honest. no where else to escape the sounds...

@rabbidmission19 5 лет назад

The exact stuff happens to me. It’s kind of comforting to know someone else has it and that you’re not alone because every time I tell someone about it they treat it as a joke. In fact, as I’m typing this people are doing it right now and I’m just trying to take my mind off of it but it’s very difficult. Doing something like typing lets selective attention kick in though so I’ll usually just go on notes and type something. In case you’re wondering it’s when people smack their lips is what gets me.

"If everyone heard sounds as intensely as you did, they would also get upset." This is honestly the hardest thing to internalise about misophonia. It's so hard to accept not everyone hears things the same way as you or that it's not your problem for being so sensitive.

@madisoncallahan7397 4 года назад

This disorder is ruining my life... I write this now wiping tears from my eyes because I am so tired of living my life in pain and sadness and anxiousness. My family thinks I am crazy, I have to pretend I am somebody I am not in public so I can try and seem normal. I wear ear plugs 80% of the day. I'm always in my room..... When I come out of my room and I hear my dogs drinking water out of their water bowl it ticks off my misophonia so much I have to plug my ears with my fingers and my sister or mom asks me what I am doing and I lie and say my ears itch and I go back to my room and cry. I sleep a lot with ear plugs in to forget my pain. Sounds of dogs barking, people chewing, breathing, talking through walls, snoring, whistling, laughing, humming, clicking all seem to make me crazy. I don't want to live like this anymore. I want a cure for this. Life doesn't seem worth living.... I hate this. Please send hope. God bless everyone who deals with this disorder I love you and I know what you go through.

@@savlynn6942 if your fiance triggers you on purpose, he has no remorse and no understanding of the severity you are affected by it. If you wanna get petty, give him some of his own medicine.

When my father laughs in a particular way, or coughs, sneezes or yawns, it's very, very loud and it goes through my entire body and I literally want to smack him every time he does that. Or I just want to break anything that's in front of me! I'm the least violent person I know and I love my father so much! I hate this. He also does this thing since he has a new front tooth where he rubs his tongue over it very quickly so his jaw moves all the time, making him look crazy, and it makes me want to punch him too. I'm desperate. I just keep it to myself, or I just walk away. I want it to stop because he does nothing wrong! He's the sweetest person and just me wanting to literally attack him isn't healthy.

It started for me in the fourth grade. My teacher smacked her lips constantly, every time she spoke. I started counting how many times, I started plugging my ears and bracing for impact. Eventually, it was evident I had a problem, since I couldn’t handle eating with my family any more. And I had peers who would make my trigger noises to mock me, because I didn’t know how to keep to myself about it. Nobody understands. It makes me feel very alone. 23 years old now and still very little understanding.

No guys, it is not that common, if those people have said that is because they don't know much about this topic. It is okay to be annoyed by some sounds, it really happens to everyone, but not in the way Misophonia does! If someone is annoyed by a sound they might want to make it stop or ignore it, or get a little frustrated, while Misophonia can make you cry, hurt yourself or hurt other ecc! Misophonia is not a normal condition, and we have to treat it as it is! So I would recommend you to not listen to that people, but it is just a suggestion. You need to accept Misophonia and to deeply take care of yourself. I utilize journal , meditation, slow breathing and activities that distracts me from stress. You could try them out!

I started feeling crazy because it seemed like no one else was bothered. I desperately wanted to change my seat , but I had to get permission and I couldn't think of a more believable excuse. It was an awful expirience. And of course I've had plenty of those. Eating with my family has been an ultimate torture for as long as I can remember myself and, unfortunately, they don't realize how much it triggers me. I truly hope that misophonia is going to be much more acknowledged in the future as it extremely affects one's mental health and everyday life.

@meilathedirp8222 6 лет назад

I've completely broken down in front of my friends before because of this. After explaining it they may show sympathy, but they eventually go back to doing it even after making a big scene. Only a couple people in my life actually care about it; my friend chessadie, and my friend Miranda. They are the only ones who have lisend, and tryed to be more aware of what they are doing around me. Misophonia provokes anger, depression, suicidal thoughts, and violence twords that person for me personally. For me the triggering sounds are caused by oral sounds such as eating, chewing, kissing, mouth pops ext. People often make fun of me for it. One time my not so good friends held me down and chewed in my ears really loudly. I cried and they didn't stop. To this day they mock me with exadurated chewing noises. I've lived with this my whole life. My family says that I need to get over it and that I can deal with it, but in reality every time I hear it it makes me want to provoke violence twords that person. I've even gotten to the point of thretining them to stop. I hope that this helps people understand that it's a serious thing, and if you are experiencing misophonia that you are not alone.

I am so so so sorry your friend did that to you. I suffer from SPD, or Sensory Processing Disorder, which is with autism. However, I think I have misophonia too, as I've had it more than likely my entire life. I've learned it will pass...eventually. It's like an anxiety attack, which I also have (general anxiety). Disney is my coping mechanism. Also, here are my triggers: Water Wind Chimes Swings Movement in general, which is also linked with misophonia.

I'm pretty sure its bcuz our brains are different i know it sounds weird but each time u hear a trigger sound it activates a place in ur brain and that place (forgot the name of it) should only get activated when ur in danger like a lion roaring but bcuz of our brains bein different the place gets activated when ur mom starts chewing and right when it gets activated u start feeling fear and panic attacks just like if a lion was about to attack u and the reason why it only activates when its sum1 u love (btw this part is something I think) might be bcuz ur brain thinks ur mom is threatening u and u will get hurt and angry BUT a good thing tho is bcuz of our brian bein different would also mean we hav a higher chance of intelligents and creativeness

I really tried to focus in class but there would be sniffing, pen tapping, and chewing gum..And at lunch Chewing with mouth open, eating chips, and slurping a drink would even bother me. I thought I was alone and I thought nobody was by my side until now. There are people out there who actually have the same thing as me and I finally have weights off my back.

I've been taught to chew with my mouth closed, and yet EVERYONE in my family does the opposite. Good to know that there are a lot of people who also feel irritated-almost to the point where you wanna smack or punch the noisy person-whenever they hear their trigger sounds. Since I don't want to avoid eating with my family, and none of them are willing to be more considerate, I discreetly wear earphones and listen to music while eating. I have to look out for whenever someone is talking to me, and I just lower the volume while they speak.

Misophonia affects my every day life. If I hear a TV or music bleeding into a room I’m in, I literally start to go crazy.

I currently live with my parents and we just bought a new house. I didn’t realize until we moved in that it is only 750ft from an interstate highway with some houses and trees separating us in between. It is so annoying to listen to every minute I’m home and I constantly feel like I’m in distress. Not really sure what to do. It affects my work ethic and I get much less accomplished because of this.

Dogs barking, babies crying, doors slamming. I've noticed that it is sounds that I deem "unnecessary" sounds. I also notice I get more enraged because they are things out of my control.

I try my best to remove myself from situations, but you can't always. Sometimes these sounds trigger migraines.

People smacking their gums when they eat, loud chewing, snoring, sniffling, coughing (consistently), scraping (my mum has a habit if scraping her fork against a metal plate when eating). All of these noises and more can cause a violent reaction or i can just snap if I'm exposed to these sounds for too long. I've always laughed when I'm in pain, so say if someone bent my ginger back I'd laugh to cope with the pain, sometimes this happens if i get triggered in public like in class, it's better than getting violent.

I have a classmate too who does that, they cough, sneezes (loudly sometimes), and annoyingly burps! God, it's really annoying as hell! 😤😤😤😤😤😤

@spectroman71 4 года назад

Oh, I understand you so much! At work we are in the "open concept" environment and every overexaggerated cough, every repeated sneeze, attempts to hold back sneezes, clearing throats, gum chewing, sniffles, cumulatively give me so much rage I often don't know what to do besides stew and be even more angry. It SUCKS!

For me, snoring, breathing. Or someone chewing with no other noises in the room drive me insane, when I hear these noises it's all I can focus on. I try to get over myself but the sound becomes more isolated in my head and my gut wrenches. But then when I try to block out the sound with something like hearing protection I just hear my own breathing and even that bothers me. My wife tells me I'm insane, I just agree. It is insane.

hearing mucus in speech or laryngeal valve touch i guess or tongue sounds, saliva moving, all mouth sounds mostly when the person is sick that is the drama

People chewing loudly always irritated me and after a long time span I realised some people could move on with that sound, when I was still in the same position. Well now I know my problem is called misophonia. Thanks a lot for sharing this video.

when i hear whistling, my heart starts beating fast. if it doesn’t stop in five seconds, tears start coming to my eyes. after i start crying, i feel the need to break something. this is terrible. it’s been happening since i was about nine.

My family always laughs at me, and this made me feel seen, thank you. I hope to show this to them so they can understand better and hopefully not make me feel so bad about wanting to avoid situations like that. Thank you very, very, much

Disturbing noises are worse when produced by someone that already annoys me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. It makes me feel like a bad person, but hopefully it's not my fault

What I feel is more as if I was being... threatened, maybe? So sometimes I get angry at someone or something and sometimes It makes me want to fly from that noise or even cry. This happens to me more often when I am in a social event with other people and there is some noise "hurting" me and I want to pretend everything is fine. So how can I treat something that makes me feel threatened? A treatment like those for fight or flight response? Not exactly I think, since when earing the triggers I feel like it is actually hurting. But what do I know? I just have misophonia. We need real research (and we need people to stop looking at us as if we were just whining).

It sounds like you are feeling a fear/anxiety response. Some of the strategies mentioned here could be helpful. In some situations exposure therapy could help and in others it might be more about limiting the impact of the sounds or distancing yourself from them. I agree - this is a problem that needs to be taken seriously and be researched thoroughly. Thanks for watching and good luck!

When I hear the sounds my neck recoils, kind of like a tic, it just happens over and over again until it stops

Man, I've struggled with Misophonia for years and this video has been the most helpful thing. Thank you so much for this!

@drali 6 лет назад

So happy to hear this was helpful! Thanks for watching!

@hollyadams6829 5 лет назад

I've had MISOPHONIA since I was 5 years old, or since my first memories. I have missed out on SO much. I just leave the situation, no matter what that means. At times that is as simple as walking out of a room, but other situations it means much more. Life is really unpleasant. If I left the house without my earplugs, I don't think I'd survive!!

@joeypleasants4014 Год назад

Maybe we might miss out on many things but if Christ is in our hearts we will have plenty coming for us when we are in heaven with Jesus

it’s so hard for me to stay at hotels because i have to sleep right next to my sister who breathes and snores loudly at night and i cannot bear it at all. i wear earplugs and headphones but it’s super uncomfortable and i can usually still hear it faintly and aGH i just want to be rid of it

- i have misophonia since i'm 4 - i have a pretty good hearing - i have a musical ear - People of my own circle don't consider the struggle or that it could possibly exist - I'm studying neuropsychology to make researches by myself - If anyone wants a tip to not get less mad to people and forget about the idea of choking them in the moment, (if you can't listen to music) do your own stressful sound. At the beginning, you'll get mad to yourself but you'll see the more you'll do it the more it'll become one of the best options when you are stuck in a situation and you can't do nothing else good luck people
