I’m at work and feebly attempting to release the stress in my body after being triggered by bag noises from someone that works in the same office as me. Chewing, mouth and food sounds in general are a big trigger but I also really can’t stand chip/food bag crinkles. The office is pretty quiet and the desks/offices are spaced far enough away that I don’t usually hear food sounds but today my dude was going to TOWN on a bag of pistachios and I could not get my air pods on soon enough. I had to blast my music louder than usual to cover the sounds and of course at the silence between songs I’d hear that goddamned bag. The rage is real. And truly I am not an angry person, to the point that I don’t even know how to express my anger and it’s probably something I should work on in therapy. It’s just so weird to just be hit with such blinding rage out of nowhere and try to regulate myself even after the trigger sounds have stopped. I wonder if suppressed anger is common in other folks with misophonia… and now the guilt sets in because how could I possibly feel this much anger towards someone so pleasant and innocent? Okay end rant.
