Guest guest Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I just started with this group a few weeks ago and have been just reading people's posts until now. I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist with Hyperacusis, but, the more she learned about my issues, she changed the dx to Misophonia. My issues don't reside soley with loud noises, but rather with the everyday ones - chewing, crumpled bags, vaccums, normal things. We are trying to control my anxiety with medication, but it doesn't help with my sound sensitivity at all. Each day is awful. I have a co-worker who constantly chews and eats and crumples bags and plays jazz music...all of which drive me crazy. Some days I feel like I'm going to explode, like my insides are hurting so much that I can't take it anymore. I can't keep doing this. I've used any advice that I've found - earplugs, earphones with music or with pink noise. I take the anti-anxiety medication. I try to relax and breathe. Nothing is working though. I've googled and called audiologist, occupational therapists, but no one treats or even knows about Misophonia. My psychiatrist has tried finding people, my therapist is currently searching for some answers, and I keep trying, but we've come up with nothing. How is it that specialists, doctors, no one knows what Misophonia is? How am I supposed to ever believe that things can get better if there seems to be NOTHING out there to help? I know I'm probably not saying anything that everyone else here hasn't already said. I guess I'm just wondering how you deal with this? How do you accept something that, seemingly, can't be helped? How do you keep going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
