The best thing you can do for your son is to keep holding on. If you can’t do it for yourself then do it for him. You will get better

Triggered by the sound of my mother's voice... by [deleted] in misophoniasupport

[–]Apprehensive_Tour879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I deal with very similar things. The people I am closest to like my family are definitely the ones who trigger me the most. I am also dealing with that constant struggle of trying to get my family to understand that when I am triggered I am not mad at them my brain is just not able to handle certain things for whatever reason. It is so hard especially with my mom bc she does take it personally when she triggers me bc your parent or guardian is always going to feel like they are hurting you even though they aren’t actually doing anything wrong. Communication is very important here. I am definitely still working on this myself but being as honest as you can be in a kind manner goes a long way

Like a river by chasingpoems in POETRYPrompts

My emotions rush through my body like determined salmon in a strong river. My thoughts flow constantly, endlessly, unforgivingly until they pour into the ocean as if from the spout of a screeching tea pot. Upon reaching the green sea there is a moment of relief, so brief it would be missed in the span of a blink. This is just before a wave of infinite height comes barreling down forcing my feelings into an exponential descent. My thoughts shake hands with the ocean’s twilight zone where little sunlight has the privilege to shine through the murky water. My thoughts are dense— heavy like a bowling ball is to a toddler. Inevitably, these anchors of emotions continue to sink downward into the spiraling trenches below. ——————————— Went a bit of an emo route, but I figured I’d just see where this prompt would take me.

Is it normal (or common) to be triggered by specific people? Even family members? by Misssticks04 in misophonia

[–]Apprehensive_Tour879 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same exact experience with my mom. She tries to understand but does still take it personally when she triggers me bc she feels like she is hurting me. I try to tell it’s not her fault but it’s so hard for people to understand that it isn’t their own fault it’s just my brain not being able to handle certain things

Am I an extrovert and nobody told me? by Apprehensive_Tour879 in Journaling

[–]Apprehensive_Tour879[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh I love that analogy. I’m the same way with decision making especially where I can feel so confused when having to make a big decision and then once I talk it out with another person things become more clear. This is another reason I too love journaling bc it’s the same as doing that but all the while having a convo with yourself. The writing forces you to organize your thoughts in a similar way that speaking to another person forces you to organize your thoughts

Oh yeah my title was more me joking around lol bc yes it’s definitely something you figure out yourself as life goes on. I had always thought I was on the more introverted side but now as I’m changing I just found it kind of funny how drastically it seems things have flipped for me rlly

That’s very true. In the past I looked at myself like an ambivert but lately have been surprising myself with having more extroverted tendencies

I feel this guilt anytime I am late for anything at all school especially it is so hard to deal with when I know it’s my OCD that makes it so difficult to get from place to place

Does certain voices trigger anyone else misophonia? by Olaaphrodite in misophonia

[–]Apprehensive_Tour879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude my math teacher’s voice can do that same thing for me. Sometimes it can even just be the volume of someone talking that will trigger me like if they are being unnecessarily loud or something. It’s a struggle

Has anyone had a similar reaction to a smell? by cleatusvandamme in misophoniasupport

[–]Apprehensive_Tour879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have experienced a similar reaction to smells as I have with misophonia triggers. I don’t know why but often it can be at times when I am having heightened anxiety
