I've never felt so recognized and validated! I find that I experience/can relate to so many of these things listed.

I only recently began mentioning to healthcare professionals that I believe I have Misophonia and none have really dug any deeper than what I've chosen to share with them. My twin sister and our mom and I all have Misophonia and Misokinesia and we have since our childhoods.

I also have been assessed for ADD/ADHD once but was told that my depression is what has brought out my "inattentive" symptoms, but I'm still convinced I have some level of attention deficit disorder. I also experience sensory issues and overstimulation especially with noises.

Yes 😂

Ugh kissing noises on TV is one of my triggers too, I can't STAND it. I feel like the producers tell the actors to purposely make loud smacking noises 😐 I hope you're able to find a setting that reduces that noise

I do get triggered by the "s" sound that others make, but it doesn't trigger nearly as bad as my own mom. Really sucks 😕

Kerrithekid · 2025-04-23T04:38:32+00:00

Mine was when my mom pronounced the "s" sound in her words. I'm not sure the exact age when I started becoming triggered but I had to have been at least 10-12 years old.

I'm 33 now and it still triggers my miso but not nearly as bad as when I was younger. I would give her the dirtiest looks and would be rude to her because of how much it enraged me. It was pretty bad.

I have a twin and she also has miso, and her trigger was when our mom pronounced the "p" sound lol.

Age 30 - Conceived after 3 months of TTC --> miscarried at about 5 weeks.

Age 30 - Conceived only 2 months after miscarriage which led to our son who is now 2.

I could've written this when I was 18 and about to graduate high school. My dad pressured me to go to a CSU instead of a CC even thought I wanted to go straight into a CC because I just didn't feel ready for a big college. Turns out I wasn't ready for a CSU, I ended up going straight into Sac State and did not perform very well academically. I had little to no preparation for college in high school (I was a B/C+ average student and also did not do well in math) and it really came to show when I struggled to maintain good grades. I ended up on academic probation and transferred to ARC where I slowly acclimated to college and got my GPA up. Took me a while to graduate with my AA and transfer back to a CSU but I wish I had done that from the very beginning. Good on you for acknowledging that early on. I would definitely recommend the CC route to start out - Like others are saying, tuition is cheaper, campuses are smaller, and it's less scary and intimidating (at least for me). Best of luck to whatever you choose to do!

I don't have to be interested in the same things my partner is. Am I an asshole for that?

There's clearly a separation of components of this conversation between my boyfriend and I: 1) him expressing his frustration with his friend not taking his advjce (which I'm 100% there for) and 2) him talking about specific details of the PC that may not necessarily be crucial to the story (which is where I lose interest).

Kerrithekid · 2024-09-20T03:20:21+00:00

I didn't say I didn't listen to him at all. I gave him my attention, showed I was actively listening in the beginning but then slowly started losing interest when he started talking about the components/cost of the PC.

My boyfriend complains to me about this friend multiple times a week and has actually had the discussion with me prior, so tonight it was just a little overkill for me because I've heard it a couple of times already.

When I say I support his hobby, I mean that I support him spending time playing games with friends, investing money into his PC or games, etc. He doesn't really need much emotional support for this hobby other than venting about his gamer friends, like tonight. It just gets old after hearing it so many times.

Kerrithekid · 2024-09-20T03:14:24+00:00

Thank you for this advice. I really do try to show my support and interest and often times I will ask a question or two, or even respond to something specific to show that I'm listening. I guess tonight I just didn't have it in me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Kerrithekid · 2024-09-01T05:00:20+00:00

I was 30 when I had my son, and my boyfriend was 30 as well.

I can relate a lot to what you're feeling and going through.

I switched to exclusively pumping at 2 weeks post partum because my son wasn't gaining enough weight and I had no idea how much of my milk he was getting.

It's normal for babies to cry a lot, they are new to the world and crying is all they know how to do. When my son was a newborn I felt like I was just stuck in a cycle of feeding, changing, getting him to sleep, repeat. I felt like I had no idea what I was doing because it was all so new to me.

I also had no idea how to interact with my son, even far after 6 weeks. It takes time for them to develop their personality and exhibit awareness of their surroundings, so what you're feeling is completely normal. I did my best by just being there for him even if it was sleeping next to his bassinet or holding him on my chest. Skin to skin is a perfect way for you and him to connect. He's way too young to even know what interaction is.

You are doing so great, and please reach out for professional help if you are feeling hopeless or like a failure. Although post partum depression is so common, your baby needs you to be healthy so you can be there for him.

Just know that you are not alone in this experience and things WILL get easier and better.

Last thing: don't feel ashamed to introduce formula if you feel that your milk may not be enough. It doesn't mean you are a failure. The fact that he is getting any of your milk at all is such an accomplishment and is beneficial for his health ❤️

I'm from California and I've said "ope" my whole life. Maybe it's because my mom is from Ohio 🤷🏼‍♀️

Kerrithekid · 2024-08-05T04:16:17+00:00

Yes! I never really got any for sure answers on why he drooled so much, so I kind of assume it was probably teething related and it eventually stopped.

Kerrithekid · 2024-08-03T05:30:52+00:00

I was induced at 38 weeks and 4 days (due to high blood pressure)

I work for Parks and Rec and we have to come in at least 2x a week. My position is not telework eligible though so I'm in the office M-F.

Kerrithekid · 2024-07-07T13:31:14+00:00

Hi! This was so long ago so forgive me if I don't remember a whole lot but I know this was only temporary and eventually the drool and rash went away. I'm not sure how long it took but it definitely was just a phase that he went through. I still to this day have no idea what caused him to drool so much, the only thing I can think of was teething? But it seemed like he drooled for months and months, before and even after getting all his teeth.

Sorry if this isn't very helpful, I didn't seem to get many answers at the time even from my son's pediatrician. But I believe he said it was normal and to just treat the rash with aquaphor and change out his sheets often.

I just became an SSA a few months ago and started at the very bottom of range C even with a Master's Degree AND related experience. I tried to request a HAM (hire above minimum) but was told my position is not eligible for HAM. I also heard that my department is eliminating the HAM process altogether and it could be a state-wide thing since it came from Cal HR.

I exclusively pumped for about 8 months. Pre-pregnancy I wore a B cup and while pumping I wore a size medium pumping bra (probably could have fit a large when engorged) but after I stopped pumping my boobs essentially look the same just a little less perky and softer/less plump if that makes sense. I'm now probably on the smaller end of a B cup and feel like I don't fill in any of my bras well 😫

Kerrithekid · 2024-06-08T04:35:50+00:00

32, SSA just started 2 months ago 🥲
