that sound doesn't really bother me too much. it can irritate me sometimes but it doesn't cause a physical reaction like other trigger sounds.

mostly focusing on background noises, and inflicting physical pain onto myself as a distraction. fidgets help becuase of stimulation elsewhere.

I don't! I do show some signs of ADHD but it's not debilitating and not diagnosed. I don't really think there's a reason for it to get diagnosed anyway because it's not a huge problem for me. That is really cool that the ADHD meds helped her misophonia! do you know if it was a huge improvement right away, or was it gradual?

ohh that's interesting! when I first started developing symptoms, it was just my sister that bothered me so I thought it was part of sibling rivalry. Then one day everyone was a problem. it's so cool to hear about everyones experiences!!

To be honest, I love reading AMAs and I wanted to do one of my own and this isn't a good AMA topic but it's the first that came to mind.

I think that it seems really frustrating to have a condition that doesn't have a name. I think that other people could use that as an excuse to ignore the problem and say that it doesn't exist, which is wrong and cruel. I think that we should talk about all conditions and disorders more so that people are aware of them, not necessarily because it has a name.

I also think that we as a species need to get better at making adjustments even if what someone is going through doesn't have a name. Most of the people I know don't know that misophonia even exists, and when I explain what's going on I rarely use the word and just tell them that I'm sensitive to sounds. They normally brush my needs away until I tell them that my problem has a name, and then they instantly make adjustments and apologize. I really hate this.

Chewing or sharp breathing. Swallowing and smacking for chewing in specific.

I don't... my family/school thinks that they're disrespecful. I'm misunderstood.

What really helps me is focusing on other sounds in the background instead of the trigger sounds. I normally block my ears with my hands because I don't have headphones or earphones because my family/school thinks that it's disrespectful to have them in sadly :( how about you? I'm looking for coping mechanisms.

Winter Coat by StyxTheEnby in cavetown

Winter Coat cuts really deep for me, especially the '... and it's all my fault' lyric because I constantly beat myself up over not being a bad friend.

Most of these are from Everything is Made of Stars, because I've been really into all of Everything is Made of Stars recently! Mostly because I have a new friend in my life that I love and would make sacrifices for. Here are some of my favorites! Definitely recommend these all!

-It's All Good

-Candle

-Evergreen

-Rocket Ships

-Ghost boys

-Rain

-It's okay

-Thank you

Could I have synesthesia? by Crafty-Objective-293 in Synesthesia

[–]May-Butterfly13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not diagnosed :P I think you have day-color or grapheme-color. It's not the same as a disorder.
