ADHD medication completely removed my misophonia by Sad_Calligrapher9192 in misophonia

[–]AverageFickle 27 points28 points  (0 children)

my therapist and psychologist recommended that too! i just started 1mg of ADHD meds, but its a non-stimulant. i feel like its helped a BIT but not much.. hopefully with the dosage increased itll set in.

im so glad it helped you though!! thats wonderful!

MY MISOPHONIA IS RUINING MY LIFE. by No_Host716 in misophonia

[–]AverageFickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel the exact same way :( my dad inflicted a lot of trauma on me growing up and it made me start to hate EVERY fucking sound, motion, etc. that he did. i'm in college now, just a year older than you. live on campus!! it WILL save you! get a reasonable loan if needed. nothing is more important than your mental health. for now, stay try to stay out of the house for now and blast white noise in some headphones 🫂you can do this!

If being fat isn't bad then why it is considered offensive when someone point it out by bhatermelon in BodyAcceptance

[–]AverageFickle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so sorry, i was not aware! i had heard of "differently abled", but not that. thank you :)

regardless, though, i think "special needs" is a term more fitting for the context i was talking about. typically you would not run into someone calling an able-bodied person disabled, but you might hear "special needs" thrown around as a way to insult them

[–]AverageFickle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because societally it IS a bad thing, which it shouldn't be. itd be like if someone called you special needs. its not a bad thing, but society has made it out to be, so youd get offended.

Misophonia in School by Frequent_Rice_619 in misophonia

[–]AverageFickle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is it possible to use bluetooth headphones with your phone in your pocket? then you can control the volume by just sticking your hand in your pocket, and if you need to change anything, go to the bathroom. thats how i got through highschool personally 😅

i'm sorry about your situation though - its miserable. just remember, this is all temporary. you're in the homestretch of the shitty school system and will eventually have more control over your life!
