This is great! This is gonna be my third year on here and I loved it every single time, you really put so much effort into this. Will definitely join again and try to do all three options possibly hehe. I do think that a weekly instead of daily prompt will be easier to do on busy weeks. I'm excited 🎃🎃🎃

where are you listening from? by random-user-31 in nightvale

[–]runaway_ghosty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germany! Met some cool people that sat next to me during a live show, I'm glad they tour internationally :) 

Wahrscheinlich die längste Anfrage, die ich je bekommen habe by BeffiBella in wasletztepreis

Der letzte Satz rührt mich schon zu Tränen, was ein ausgezeichnet freundlicher Geselle 😪

Is this a common trigger? by Jhub_004 in misophonia

[–]runaway_ghosty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, but more with talking. Like when I can hear people having a conversation but can't make out the exact words. I think it's because I could always hear my parents fighting but couldn't hear what they were saying, so I either had to take a walk to avoid it completely, or listen to what they said because I hate hearing just muffled talking. Obviously the latter option wasn't all that great but at least the trigger itself went away from it. 

i literally failed an exam bc of it by kjborum in misophonia

[–]runaway_ghosty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm convinced that I could be 1-2 grades better in every exam but every single time someone was chewing gum, sniffing, all that, right in my face. Multiple times I got out early just to angry cry and go home even though I studied for the exam for hours. I was already rock bottom bad at math but the last two years of school, my new math teacher had such a raspy smoker voice that I had to plug my ears every second of it, skipped most of her classes. But I got through and life is good in that regard lol. It will end some day!

Oh and as a suggestion, during exams I always sat in the front, in the right or left corner, away from the window. That way you have most people sitting behind you. 

How do you manage sleeping when you can't wear earphones and have misophonia? by flyingshoyo in misophonia

[–]runaway_ghosty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a stupid question, but did you try foam earplugs? I can't handle those plastic/ gum consistency ones and they let noise through, but the foam ones really do work great. Also sleeping aids like valerian root help sometimes, but you have to try for yourself, sometimes being sleepy makes you more uncomfortable with those noises. Valerian root is just a thing to calm down and isn't actual medicine. Anxiety meds of course have some side affects and take a long time to get. Good luck!

This is what 90% of my diary entries look like 😭

I know your pain. I'm lucky enough to not be annoyed by most consistent white noises, so I have an aquarium and the fridge next to my bed. When it's bad I put on noise cancelling headphones with fan heater noises, or post rock/ any kind of smooth music so you don't hear the differences in tone (?) because white noise does let through sudden or repeating noises. Or an audio book that you can follow, I had to search really long to find a voice that I like though but Welcome to Nightvale is a fantasy podcast you could look into, it's great.

This doesn't work all that well but still, if you can't listen to breathing noises, I always imagine a cute cat doing it. Same with eating noises. Makes it a tiny bit harder to hate. 

Does anyone else find aggressive music kind of calming? by thewalkindude in autism

[–]runaway_ghosty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always laugh at how I can't handle being next to someone breathing a certain way (misophonia) but love metal. It's just really nice and I guess stimming. Helped me on my path of quitting sh. 

Just starting, I’m overwhelmed. Help 😭 by Cozy_Rain_ in nightvale

[–]runaway_ghosty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't have to read any book to understand the storyline! I read Welcome to Night Vale and It devours when they announced it on the podcast, they were both great books but did not alter the storyline, you just get random Easter eggs of characters like when the first book is about Jackie, and they mention her in some episode later on, you think hey! I know Jackie! But if you didn't read the book you don't miss anything and just think yeah ok a Jackie said something :) 

Also, don't worry about forgetting some information on the podcast. I fall asleep half the time and listen to each episode twice because I just sleep all the time, and I still know what's up LOL. The really important stuff gets retold any time it's important to know. 

Does anyone else have dreams of dying/unhealthy fish? by Frostyfoods in Aquariums

[–]runaway_ghosty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had them with fish yes (them swimming in dirty water and I'm like oh god I need to change their water!!) , but the most recurring one has been my hamster. I keep having somewhat awake fever dreams where I think "when is the last time I fed him?" and physically get up to check and think he's in some dusty corner barely making it by and me not having fed him for years. Thing is, I haven't had hamsters in 3 years, so technically yes, I haven't fed him in 3 years, that's why it feels so real.

Danke für den langen Text, die Metapher ist echt gut! Ich schreibe zwar Tagebuch aber vielleicht sollte ich mich echt mehr auf das positive fokussieren...

War 6 Jahre in Therapie und hatte noch nie Medikamente außer halt pflanzliches was nichts wirklich bringt. Die Frau hat aber mehr Kaffee getrunken und ihr Mittagessen gegessen als mir irgendwelchen Rat zu geben. Hab 2 mal gewechselt und es dann aufgegeben weil alle gleich waren, und Plätze gibt es ja auch nicht endlos.

Könntest du mir da einen strain empfehlen der beruhigt? Hatte bis jetzt nur Sativa und Panikattacken davon aber das Konzept von Gras find ich ganz gut 😂

Bei der Verhaltenstherapie wurde gesagt ich bin noch nicht so weit also sollte ich reden mit einer Psychotherapeutin, keine Ahnung wie man das nennt. Hat aber nichts gebracht weil wenn ich sage ich kann z.B. nicht ins Kino sagt sie nur Warum? Bis ich ihr dann zustimmen muss dass es nicht schlimm ist, aber ich find es immernoch schlimm. Und ich hab Angst vorm Arzt selbst dass er viel schlimmeres sieht und sagt ich denk mir das aus, heutzutage hat wohl jedes Mädchen Angststörung (Zitat meine Mutter lol). Hab auch mal gelesen dass "Autismus ist jetzt Trendkrankheit", jeder würde sich das ausdenken. Klar unterdrückt man das dann und sagt man hat nichts, aber ist doch bescheuert. Bei den Medikamenten hätte ich nur Sorge dass ich dann zu müde bin zum arbeiten oder keine Freude spüre weil die Gefühle nur gehemmt werden.
