Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Isn't that the million-dollar question? Really, coping varies from person-to-person. Myself, I keep headphones and earplugs on me at all times, try to avoid situations I know to be triggering, work on meditative/relaxed breathing when I'm around triggers that I can't escape. I try to format my social life so that the things I participate in are less likely to be stressful situations (for instance, movie-watching = generally bad, going out shopping = generally okay). I've talked to my roommate about keeping her noises down, and I try to be a super-extra-good roommate in other regards to make up for the inconvenience to her. It's not really easy, and I don't think there's a single answer to your question. Lots of other people on here have other methods or treatments they're trying. Some may work for you and others may not; I recommend that you browse through the posts here and try some ideas out for yourself, see what fits your lifestyle best and helps you most. > > What do you do to help misophonia if you have it? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I do similar things. I find positive inner voice very helpful. When people are doing things that are driving me crazy I try to say nice things in my head about the person instead of negative, helps get through the offending noises with sanity. I have started to enjoy movies with the use of hearing impaired headphones that the theater will check out to you. I even wear ear plugs with them to feel more at peace since theaters have a long history of making me miserable. Now it's great. I am at the beginning stages of nuerofeedback to try to help. The single most important thing that helps me is good sleep. If I am tired triggers are horrible. So I try to make sure I'm well rested, eating right and exercising.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have severe insomnia. My working from 4:45pm unti 4am 4 days in a row and being to hyperto sleep. when I get home does not help. Often I will stay up for 3 straight days. On these evenings I hear every little sound with in 30 feet of me. I get emotional and irritable. The coolers, ice machine, jager machine drive me crazy on these days. Being overly tiered makes a huge difference. Not to mention that I am way under weigh due to medication that I have to take every day. The cooks are always careful not to click thir tongs, but I can't tell them not to chop vegatables or clean the grill. Sleep is so important. I think I have been dealt a really crapy hand. Everythingv that my father had slightly. I have it 10 fold. Why did my sisters escape almost all of my fathers bad traits. My mom is so kind and calm. Though she did give me the gift of migraines. She has had less than a handful in fer life. I have several every month. Thank God for Imitrex. Sent from my Samsung Interceptâ„¢ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
