telling teenagers it doesn't get better is so cruel and irresponsible. you're suppose to be the adult stop trying to get doomer cred and act like a sympathetic human being

Ever since I was 6 I've had strong reactions to certain noises but recently it's gotten worse. I told my mom about it a few days ago and a psychiatrist said it was misophonia, but I'm still not sure if I have it? Like I get super mad when ever someone sighs/snores/stomps/ other things like that, but it's mostly only for one certain person and if I'm super aware of it, those certain noises barely affect me. And eating/chewing noises don't trigger me at all. Ig idk if that still means I have it??

That’s a very common part of misophonia. My dad’s breathing bothers me so much I can’t be in the same room, while my friend Rowan’s breathing doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

Today I went to tour Connecticut College, which was my first ever college visit. There are so many things that I love about this school, and I know I’ll be applying there. But one thing I’d like to share on here is how I felt when we visited the dorm rooms.

I’ve been stressing over how the hell im gonna sleep in college when I can barely stand sleeping in the same room as one of my friends for a one-night sleepover. Whenever my parents are yelling at me about my misophonia, they always make sure to say something along the lines of “how are you gonna survive college???” or “you’ll never be able to live in the real world.” The thought of never being able to sleep at college terrifies me, especially since I’ve often thought of college as my way out of the constant stress that comes with always living with my parents, who are my worst triggers. So when we walked into a dorm room on that tour and there was only one bed in said room, I felt like I was gonna cry of relief. According to our tour guide, every student from sophomore year on is guaranteed a single dorm room with no roommate, but freshman can arrange to get a single room if they have special considerations.

This is honestly some of the best news I’ve heard of in so long. I didn’t know that it was even an option to have your own dorm room in college, and now to realize that not only is it an option but in some places it’s normal is the biggest weight taken off my shoulder in a long time. Here I was picturing my future self desperately trying to find a roommate who doesn’t snore or breath super loudly at night and then eventually having mental breakdowns regularly because I can’t sleep nights before big tests, and now I realize that this might not even be a big problem.

I just though I would share this in case any of my followers are high schools also worrying about this issue. Misophonia sucks but I promise there’s hope for all of us <3

Hi, I’ve been bothered by sounds since I can remember but I’m not really sure if it’s mahonia because I still can go to public and sleep next to people (only the really quiet ones). Can you help me tell what it is?

It's actually completely normal for everyone to be bothered by mouth sounds, and it only becomes misophonia when it's so severe that it negatively impacts your every day life. If you are ever around people making sounds that bother you to the point that you can't bare to be on the same room, that could be misophonia. You could also be experiencing the onset of misophonia, but what you're experiencing could also be completely normal. If you do think you have misophonia (even if it's not that severe) I'd recommend looking into treatment methods so you can keep your miso from developing to become severe and unbearable.

Is it wrong to say I have misophonia even though I have never been professionally diagnosed? I've been struggling with sounds for years, and it's even gotten to the point where I've become afraid to go to school or have sleepovers with friends. I cannot comfortably be in the same room as my own sister since she tends to breathe loudly. I get so nasaeus and stressed over the tiniest sniffling and snoring sounds, and lately loud chewing has begun to bother me.

That’s not wrong at all! There are definitely things you shouldn’t openly self-diagnose yourself with, but misophonia is considered self diagnosable. Pretty much everyone I’ve ever talked to with misophonia is either self diagnosed or self diagnosed themselves before they were professionally diagnosed. Because, unfortunately, most doctors don’t know what misophonia is, and very few professionals are qualified to diagnose it. You have to put so much effort into getting a diagnoses, and although I believe that everyone who can should seek out a professional diagnoses, you can still tell your friends and family that you have misophonia. It’s a huge thing that makes it hard for you to be around other people, and it’s important that the people around you know why you always freak out for seemingly no reason. Putting a name to what you’re feeling will give it validity to the people around you.

a couple years back i found your blog while just searching through tumblr. i'm not sure how, exactly, but i saw your url and was like "??? What's misophonia" and i went and looked through your blog (and a bunch of the ones you rbed from) and learned. fast-forward to about a year ago, now? and i started developing symptoms. i wasn't sure what it was, at first, as i'd mostly forgotten about it since, but eventually it drove me to a breakdown and while i was still (1/probably 2)

(2/2) crying i thought “wait” and i found the wikipedia page. it wasn’t perfect, but it was enough to go “that’s it that’s what it is.” i still haven’t gotten professional help (well, technically, but the therapist i had refused to believe i wasn’t faking it, and im still a minor) but i’m working on it!! and as much as i really wish my parents would care more about me over my “incredible hearing” but ive got some coping mechanisms and i can’t help but believe that it has to get better. so ;0

Anon, this made my day!!! Of course, I’m sorry that you have to deal with miso, but to know that my blog helped you warms my heart. I also love that you’re keeping your head up and have been working on your miso and it’s gotten better. Oh my god I love this message. I’m so happy for you and I hope your miso continues to get better and better until it isn’t significant to your life anymore. ❤️ ps I feel you on the parents thinking you just have incredible hearing think

Today's the two year anniversary of me getting professionally diagnosed and now I can function like a normal human being in public we're still working on the being decently okay at home but we'll get there never give up kids

My misophonia always gets in the way. I can't sleep in the same room as another person, and this turns sleepovers into a living hell. Thankfully one of my close friends understands this and makes sure I have a separate room to sleep in. But right now I'm stuck in a car with my sister who always breathes loudly and my mom would flip if I dare complain about it. I hate this so freaking much and I wish I didn't have to live like this.

Buddy, two years ago I would’ve sent this exact ask to a misophonia blog. When you’re not getting treatment or figuring out coping mechanisms misophonia is an absolute living hell. And it can mess up almost every aspect of your life.

It really sucks researching misophonia online, cause every article mentions how miso only gets worse and worse and it worsens with age. But you know what? That’s bull. Misophonia gets worse if you don’t deal with it. But at some point your misophonia will peak, and it will be the worst it’s ever been and your life will feel like shit, and maybe that’s how it feels now, but the only place to go from there is improvement. I promise you, miso will get better. The more you learn to handle it and to make your symptoms less severe, the less restrictive it will be.

I used to not be able to pay attention in any of my classes, I couldn’t sleep in the same room as anyone, and I couldn’t be near anyone eating, chewing gum, or audibly breathing without crying and shaking uncontrollably. It was so bad my friends even thought my epilepsy came back and I was having a seizure. My parents didn’t use to understand at all, and they’d lash out at me if I showed any discomfort around them. But things got better, I got diagnosed and treated, more and more people started understanding, and my miso actually got better. I still have a lot of problems, but for the most part they’re only at home, and I believe I can work through the big ones. Even at home things have gotten so much better.

It’s great that you have one friend who understands, and I promise that in the future many friends will too. Sorry if this was like over emotional but I’m in an emotional mood and like miso won’t always get in the way good luck anon I wish you the best 💕

misophonia culture is almost chucking your phone across the room because spotify decided to commit a crime against your ears by playing an ad full of trigger sounds while you’re trying to listen to music

Does your misophonia and general awareness of small sounds ever get worse if you're nervous or anxious? I'm sitting here and ppl are talking and their lips keep flapping, and I'm honed in on BG noise, and everything's annoying me. There is no possibility of me leaving to regather myself.

Yeah that definitely happens to me! I find my miso can be triggered way more easily when I’m stressed, tired, hungry, etc. I also can be triggered worse if I’m already angry at or disgusted by the person who’s triggering me. If you’re already stressed out, then then noises that make you stress and panic are probably gonna seem way worse than normal. I hope this helped, and I hope you get out of that situation soon!

I’m stuck at a friends house I don’t want to be at and she’s snoring so loudly I could probably hear it from outside the house. I cannot escape I cannot sleep this happens every time I go anywhere misophonia is hell

I’m really sorry you’re stuck like that anon, and I’ve had a lot of roughy experiences like that myself. Misophonia makes it hard to sleep in the same room as other people, and that sucks. But it doesn’t have to suck as much as it does. Maybe you can talk to your friend about how much her snoring bothers you and see if there’s anything you can do to help it. You could try sleeping in different rooms on different floors, and something that could help a lot is getting a white noise machine to have on while sleeping. I can just barely hear my dad snoring at night through the walls, but it’s enough for me to be having emotional breakdowns instead of sleeping. Since I got a white noise machine, I haven’t had any problems with that. I think being triggered while you’re trying to fall asleep is the worst way to be triggered. All you want is to get some rest, but instead of rest you’re stuck there crying and panicking. Misophonia sucks like that, but if you communicate with the people in your life and use healthy coping mechanism, it doesn’t have to be so bad that it takes over your life.

I had speech therapy for years because of a stutter and whatnot and now it's mostly better. But whenever I get a bad miso attack, I go right back to being unable to form words and sentences and complete thoughts. I feel like such a failure because most people 1) don't have a panic attack because people are typing and 2) don't know what it's like to have years of learning how to speak go down the train because of typing. Luckily, when it does happen, I'm usually near someone who can help me.

Anon, I FEEEEEL you!!! I had a terrible stutter when I was little (to the point of it taking me like a full minute to say a whole sentence), and I’ve gotten wayyyy better but sometimes my miso does bring it back a little. But here’s something you need to hear:

You are NOT, under any condition regarding this situation, a failure. You’re brain is literally wired in a way that forces you to hear stuff like typing and tell your body “oh shit there’s a threat we gotta get that adrenaline running so we can either attack or get outta here” as a reaction, and frankly I think not being able to focus around what you’re brain is telling you is a THREAT TO YOUR SURVIVAL is a pretty understandable problem.

Also, you put in a shit ton of work to make your stutter less severe, and you should be proud of how far you’ve come regardless of how your miso affects your speech. Cause like, if a bear was in front of someone with a history of stuttering I think they’d have quite a bit of trouble speaking. Typing and other misophonia triggers are the same for you, cause your brain is telling you to have the same reaction you’d have if a bear was actually attacking you.

Never let anyone, including yourself, tell you that “it’s just typing and you shouldn’t have that bad of a reaction to something so harmless.” Cause the sound of typing is so so so so so different for you than it is for non-misophonics. It’s not nothing to you, cause your brain is just wired a little funky. Your misophonia is valid, and never let anyone tell you that is isn’t, whether they’re saying that directly or indirectly.
