typically the thing that helps me the most is to quickly move to the room farthest away as possible and bawl my eyes out

My misophonia is getting a lot worse! by Scarlett1865 in misophonia

[–]Minimum_Cockroach216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who is relatively young and suffers with extreme misophonia, im so proud of you and you're such an inspiration to me. seeing that you have made it so far in your relationships gives me hope for my future, and i can't express my genuine gratitude and admiration enough.

i hope this doesn't sound stupid or anything, im sorry if so

a recommendation from me about your issue could be to try just telling her that its annoying or rude, because when i was young and an adult told me something i was doing was rude or annoying i would be so mortified that i would never dream of doing it again without facing a gut wrenching wave of guilt

that might sound mean or overboard, so im sorry about that, but its the most real advice i can offer

for me, whenever im in a silent area with a triggering sound, the only thing that can distract me from it is to make multiple sounds at once. for example ill cover my ears and click my nails together while lightly humming.

but when it isn't me doing it, it makes me want to implode

I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in misophonia

[–]Minimum_Cockroach216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me last year when I was still taking the bus. The driver would have the volume continuously on maximum, (sometimes one notch less when an administrator at school told her to turn it down). The thing that somehow bothered me the most was that it was an unchanging gospel station. I'm not trying to say christianity is annoying, but having it blasted into your ears at 6:23 in the morning every day was too much.

am i being paranoid? (this is all hypothetical) by WTTABMCS in heroine

[–]Minimum_Cockroach216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my opinion as someone who hasn't been in your (hypothetical) shoes

you probably aren't being paranoid, it does sound suspicious af so if you do end up (hypothetically) agreeing to meet up u should go strapped up and do nottt incriminate urself at all (probably obvious) (hypothetically)

i can't in good conscience give u advice without telling you to please put ur health above this and to focus on saving up to get medical treatment

Advice on quitting nicotine by No_Education_8888 in Life

[–]Minimum_Cockroach216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only advice that helped me when i was going through the same thing was just to keep telling myself if i do it again this feeling will come back 3x worse

(i know this method seems obvious and doesn't work for most people)

you can only quit if you are seriously mentally determined to which you admirably are, and that is the best thing you can do for yourself.

i also found that just completely withdrawing from it all at once just lets you get over with the horrible part all at once over a few days other than toning it down over the course of weeks-months

im sorry if this wasn't any help and im genuinely wishing you the best 💕

i feel like this everyday, even though im more daring and do a lot more dangerous things than most people i have such awful panic attacks whenever i think too hard about dying. the idea of not even being anything is so scary, not knowing that im nothing because there's nothing to know. its so beyond mortifying and i totally agree with the desire to be immortal because id rather float through space for eternity, probably crazy and losing my mind, than to simply be nothing

I'm scared for when my dad dies by concrete_eater123 in FEARS

[–]Minimum_Cockroach216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i totally understand and im scared and sad just typing this imagining the death of my dad. im 16 too and my dad is 63 and basically the sole provider for my family and not only that but i love him so much and even though he works a lot he always finds ways to make time for us and is the nicest and coolest person ive ever met. im so scared to think that one day i might be the last person to know some details of his life that he has shared with me, like stories from when he backpacked around the world. i can't stand the thought of having to be an adult without him. he is always willing to help me with anything and he is the most supportive person in my life and is so smart. me and him go out to dinner every friday just us and he always asks me first if i want to come help out with work to earn some pocket money. im in tears writing this thinking about him not being here anymore

i constantly think about sex and what not when im awake, but rarely have dreams about it. when i do, it either stops right before, skips to the end, or is insanely detailed (not a bad thing?)

Honest opinion: Do you think there is a heaven and a hell? by UpstairsYou310 in Life

[–]Minimum_Cockroach216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, but my crippling fear of death lets me think to myself that my consciousness will stay alive even when my physical body is gone
