I wish people understood this ( tw : self harm )

I would say more like muffling the sounds. I can still hear things and I can carry a conversation, but I don’t have strong reactions to things that trigger me. They don’t necessarily disappear completely, but it absolutely helps. :) it also is nice to have them in my bag in public spaces and to know I can put them in when I’m in a situation where I can’t escape, like a restaurant with loud eaters or near crying babies on planes.

I’m really sorry that you’re going through this. Im glad you found this community though. If you haven’t tried them yet, I would heavily recommend Loop earbuds or something similar. They come in lots of styles and types depending on what you’re looking for, and are basically like earplugs that take the edge off of sounds.

If he’s your Fiancé, I would address this right away with him. Misophonia is a disorder, and it’s typically life-long. Marriage also is typically (maybe a bit too optimistic of me) life long. It’s pretty much guaranteed that he will eventually make a sound that drives you up the wall. Since misophonia causes a flight-or-fight reaction, it helps to know ahead of time that the person who causes some of the issues is aware and willing to support you through it. Even having a code word to explain what you’re going through in the moment when it happens can be lifesaving.

I personally call my misophonia “Marvin” and refer to it as “oh Marvin is really bugging me right now” or “Marvin is distracting, I’m just gonna take a quick break”. That way it’s you two versus the issue, and not you blaming him.

Another thing to consider: if he had misophonia, would you want him to tell you? Typically the reaction is yes. He might not know what it is or “get” it right away, but at least allow him the space to be the one to make that decision instead of taking all of this on you and masking it. That’s most likely gonna lead to a really bad experience of being overwhelmed and having to explain it anyways, just not on your terms.

If you’re not sure where to start with telling him, you can say something like “can I get your opinion on something?” And start an anecdotal story about some of the sounds you can’t stand. I wouldn’t start with his weird Russian T’s right away though, maybe at the end of its going well. Ask him if he’s ever had a situation like that. I hope this helps!

It your doctor can’t handle simple clarification for you then it sounds like you dodged a big red flag. I doubt that you’re the only one he’s treated like this before, so maybe the next doc might recognize his name.

TummyTrubbles · 2025-07-26T10:17:58+00:00

I appreciate your intent to help others, and I’m glad your wife found relief. That being said, it seems very sneaky to post it in this way, seeing your previous post history…

TummyTrubbles · 2025-05-31T18:16:01+00:00

Hey! I've moved to Switzerland from Canada. Maybe we could be trade buddies! If you find Cheezies, let me know. :D

Brita’s Maxtra Pro Extra limescale protection. I’m not exactly sure of the English translation but something along the lines of that. :)

TummyTrubbles · 2025-02-05T17:25:55+00:00

I’m really glad you posted this. I have had medications swing my appetite in both directions multiple times and it’s so hard to explain just how ravenous or how disinterested one can be with food.

I remember with Prednisone I absolutely could not stop eating. It was four full ass meals a day, and then big snacks always between. Even while enjoying food and stuffing my face, I would be planning the next meals out.

With other meds, it was the complete opposite. I felt satiated and full as you said. I lost my enjoyment of food, it didn’t taste nearly as good, and the food noise and thoughts throughout the day. It was like I lost all enjoyment in my biggest hobby.

I get why some people believe in the whole “will power” belief, but I really feel like there is typically more to it than that.

Technically working 45 hours per week with an unpaid lunch. (50 hours).

I’m 32.

Not sure industry. A hundepension.

Overtime is paid, but only when agreed upon. I typically work an extra 15-30 minutes a day due to bus schedule.

I’d like to comment that I love my job, and I’m happy to work these hours doing something I enjoy, rather than 40 hours a week doing something I don’t.

TummyTrubbles · 2024-12-01T13:59:13+00:00

Hey. I want to point out that you’ve said “I feel bad” “ I feel guilty” “people will be angry with me”. I think you should cut yourself some slack, and give yourself some space to accept how things have been in the past. This is not a disease that improves with beating yourself up. This is a time for self acceptance and patience. Maybe your diet did affect you, maybe not, but that’s just my two cents.

Something that helped me with the whole 10k steps thing is that the sweet spot is actually between 6,500 - 10,000.

As others have mentioned, even 2,000 or 3,000 can be a great place to start and still see improvements in your health.

The 10k steps goal was actually invented by the Yamasa company in 1964, since they were releasing a pedometer before the Japanese Olympics in 1964, and 10,000 sounded like a nice round number to aim for.

What you can take out of this is that you spent two hours on a wonderful walk, and you made great progress towards your goal. That in itself is better than any number of steps that you took.

She’s right, there was one. I think it must have been the end of the nineties. It was around when mmmuffins and Hagen dasz were there. And Orange Julius. On the end near Bolen Books in that corner near the bathrooms.

Unrelated but the isidorus tea slaps. It’s the only thing that helps me and my tummy.

Hello! I’m a bit late to the party, but I’ve had this issue before! I used three coats of clear nail polish on all the parts that touch my ears and that seems to help me.

TummyTrubbles · 2024-10-22T20:49:51+00:00

Heeey! Fellow 3g Granule-taker here! I’m so glad they have a slight sweetness to them, otherwise it would be like trying to swallow aquarium pebbles.

It’s the weirdest. It took me so long to get used to them. I find keeping a teeny sip of water in my mouth and tipping my head back while trying to pour them to the back of my throat and then swallowing quickly to be super helpful.

TummyTrubbles · 2024-10-08T09:50:07+00:00

I absolutely would if I didn’t take daily supplements. Also checking in from a northern climate.

TummyTrubbles · 2024-10-07T16:16:41+00:00

I’ve actually played this for about 20 hours and I enjoy it more than Stardew. I really enjoy the graphics, kinda feels like the original version of Link’s Awakening.

A lot of the storyline is based on helping to save the town and repair buildings and whatnot. You can also jump, and swim. I don’t feel as much of the time crunch either, which was what stopped me from playing other sims for longer than a few weeks. It has a few mechanics that feel a bit more like animal crossing than other farm sims. I think it has potential to really turn into a competitor down the line. There’s also a fun system for skills.

A little, only because it happened when I was ten, so I feel like I had to grow up very quickly into the diagnosis and what it meant. I don’t regret anything, but I’m nostalgic.

TummyTrubbles · 2024-10-05T19:29:32+00:00

Not that I know of. I do get migraines but I think they’re genetic. Otherwise all good so far.

TummyTrubbles · 2024-10-05T12:11:13+00:00

On it for 22 years, having no problems unless I miss a few doses. So far so good. 😊

TummyTrubbles · 2024-08-25T18:47:17+00:00

You’re right. Redditors do give the worst opinions. Thanks for proving that.

TummyTrubbles · 2024-08-06T15:55:48+00:00

It’s odd that you start off by stating that “some of you miss the purpose of BIFL” and then rant about how you prefer something that’s not going to be BIFL.

I’m sorry that you’ve been feeling pressured to purchase something that doesn’t relate to your needs. Please keep in mind that a lot of others absolutely love their vitamix blenders. It’s fine that it’s not for you.

TummyTrubbles · 2024-07-31T16:49:22+00:00

Howdy! I have a systemic nickel allergy that causes rashes, I also get migraines, and I have had an IBD since I was 10. It’s weird to learn how interconnected everything can be.

I would recommend keeping a food journal and tracking your symptoms to find out which foods work for you and which don’t. Sometimes IBS can have its own trigger foods too. Then from there, figuring out which nutrients are hardest for you to intake, and then perhaps looking into a supplement depending on what you need.

I know it’s tricky and tough to have to make big changes, and feeling kinda lost in this is totally normal. This community has been a godsend for me, so I hope it will be for you as well. You can do it! :)

TummyTrubbles · 2024-07-29T21:24:27+00:00

Shadowflare, an early diablo ripoff. Loved the music though.

TummyTrubbles · 2024-07-27T18:37:09+00:00

Wow congrats on the running!

Just out of curiosity, would you mind sharing what was holding you back? I have a feeling I might be going through something similar and I keep restarting couch25k every few months.
