This video needs to be shared. I have had this condition since I can remember. When people eat (even with their mouthes closed) I cry. I feel a literal PHYSICAL pain. My muscles tense up and I want to put my head through the wall. Its terrible but nobody knows what it is. My doctors didn't even think its a problem.

I'm 70 and just found that this is a known condition. I have just accepted that I wasnt normal. I have used avoidance; flight; earplugs and even once tried to assault another because ignored my request to stop what they were doing. I did know they had triggered my uncontrollable reaction. I cannot stop my response to my triggers. God knows I have tried. I love mexican food but can not go to a restaurant where they serve tortillas. I love hard shell tacos but I have to eat them alone because I can not stand to hear anyone else eat them.

Thank you. This is the very first time I have discovered this is a thing. I am 61. All my life I have experienced this. I just thought it was me & related to trauma somehow. But, no one I've ever talked to including, Therapists, Psychiatrists, others, have known anything about it. Or, didn't say anything if they did. Loud sounds trigger me. The most intense sounds for me are, Vacuums, Ripsaws & Bumble Bees. I know, Bumble Bees aren't particularly loud. But, for whatever reason it really triggers me. I get intensely emotionally angry. I equated the energy behind the sounds to be the cause of the actual intensity. Figured it had to do with some traumatic event in my past that I couldn't remember.

I told my brother how much a trigger can affect me and he totally flipped. My family sees me as a rude controlling person because of how I react to sounds. Sometimes it gets so bad I want to hurt others and in complete confusion I end up hurting myself. The other day I got so frustrated I even asked someone to stop breathing so heavily. Obviously to others it seems like a normal thing to do- it's just breathing, right? But for me it feels like the panic continues to grow and if the sound won't stop then I will explode. After trying to confront my brother he told me that I should deal with it and I can't control the world around me. I don't enjoy this, it's not something I want! it's getting worse by the minute! He thinks that I can "cure" it. At first he didn't believe me and said just cause I self-diagnosed myself doesn't mean it's real and that I'm making things up and I should get diagnosed and treated... that's the hard part, no one knows what to do about it. Does anyone have a similar situation that could shine some light to mine? I feel so lonely, sometimes I just wanna crawl into a hole and cry. He saw some article about a guy that got rid of schizophrenia... he wants me to change myself but being yelled at for something I have no control over makes me feel so weak, sometimes I feel like such a horrible human for getting worked up at people over nothing.

Had this "problem" for the last 50 years. My Dad used to rub his hands together and that whispering/rustling noise drove me crazy for all of my teenage years, plus the slurping noise he made drinking his tea or soup. Nowadays I am just as irritated by my boss, who sniffs constantly. Each sniff is followed by a sigh, and these noises are constant, several times every hour of every day. I sit there, gritting my teeth, muttering "Oh ffs sake STOP SNIFFING" under my breath. I know he doesn't do it on purpose, and I know he isn't aware that he does it, but that does not help! I have downloaded a "white noise" app on my phone, and that helps, a bit.

It’s so hard when your family/the people you live with don’t believe you (especially a parent). I experienced this all growing up and it was awful. They thought that I chose to feel/act that way to ruin their lives which was so far from the truth. Even when someone does try to understand, it can still be hard for them to deal with because our responses to triggers still seem very irrational to them.

Thank you for making this! I've had this problem for a long time. When I was in College, i disassociated soooo much because people would be eating bags of chips in class or the library. And I wanted to get up and scream THIS IS NOT A FUCKING CAFETERIA. And I didn't. So many times. My survival strategy became - don't tell anyone about it. So many people think it's funny because like you said, they completely don't understand, and the first reaction is -- What THIS?? and they do it again. Sometimes it feels like bugs are crawling all over me, and sometimes it feels like getting hit in the head with a hammer. I am /so/ good at tolerating it now, but every moment is still awful. I'm looking forward to reading your website more!

Now today it is improving as I changed my habits of playing video games,eating junk food.& Replaced with healthy, nutritious food & trying to have a exercise. Also I now don't take anything personally.I am training on that cause someone said this : "You cannot change your Destination overnight but you can change your direction you want"-unknown Remember your thinking & importantly your emotions have power. Hope that you will get this going healthly..this was suggestion , don't loose hope & keep going you can do this.Peace.

What kind of doctor do you need to find to have an official medical diagnosis for misophonia? I've struggled with it since I was a child. My mom pops sunflower seeds nightly and it's so distressing I can't leave my room. Even in my room I need white noise, a netflix show, and KZitem noise to "cope". The dysphoria is so intense there are times my reflex reaction feels incredibly violent. I know it's a neurological disease, but do I seek a diagnosis from a neurologist, psychiatrist, an ENT doctor? All of the above? I have shared one of your videos with my mom, but I don't see a change. I hide trigger foods. There are foods I avoid because I can't even stand the sound when I chew. It's so debilitating I feel like it may be making my troubles with agoraphobia worse. Thanks so much for the educational videos. For the longest time I called this experience a "pet peeve". They're incredibly validating. I hope to donate at some point. Thank you so much for your research. -Jessica Peter

Misophonia: the life-altering condition that the APA doesn’t take seriously enough to include in the DSM. Misophonia: the life-altering condition that most psychologists and medical doctors have never heard of or believe is voluntary. Misophonia: the life-altering condition most likely the true cause of some sufferers’ criminal behavior. Misophonia: the life-altering that we just have to wait until a celebrity gets it and ends up being driven to do something extreme before the world cares.

What took them so long to diagnose this and give it a name? I could have told them it existed 50 years ago, all my life I've been insulted and called nutty because of it, if it was just people who eat noisily, it wouldn't be too bad, one can avoid such people and situations, but for me the main trigger is people coughing and that happens everywhere constantly in every work or social situation.

If you are talkig about "loud music" that is not in your room, then this is probably misophonia. It is "loud" where it is being played, but what you are hearing is not "loud," rather it is low volume where you are. If this is the case, then it is misophonia. If the "loud music" is being played in the room where you are, then it would not be considered misophonia.

This is the dumbest thing i have ever watched. An adult that doesnt understand content in communication, shouldn't be talking about communication. The very point of "I don't like turnips... well get used to it" is the stupidity that causes communications problems. Don't support the concept of "Well get used to it". Try to grow beyond that belittling attitude so all people can understand each other without such toxic concepts.. Decent human beings would understand "I don't like X", and not try to force some other idea onto them. I don't care if it is a kid saying, i don't like green bean, you don't try to force them to eat them, find something else. Learn to accept other people, and there will be less communication problems, rather than forcing the toxic behavior of forcing your own opinions and attitudes on others. "Well get used to it", should never be excused for any reason, and this person is just toxic for trying to make an excuse for it.
