Need an ear to listen, no pun intended...

[Guest guest]

Today is the SECOND time I have been called into my bosses office at work so

they can criticize me and ridicule me for sitting at my desk, trying my hardest

to internalize my rage and anger. I have had one outburst in the entire year of

working here and it happened to have been today. My boss was smacking, slurping

and chomping all at once. I don't even know what he was eating, but I said

something along the lines of " do you really need to eat that so loudly " and he

got really angry. Everyone started attacking me and then they involved

HR...again! They told me I need mental help and suggested I call a doctor. I

advised them there is no cure, and unfortunately doctors in my area don't know

about Misophonia yet. They wouldn't believe me. They just told me that if I ever

have an outburst or threaten anyone, I will be fired on the spot. I have never

threatened...it just isn't in my nature. I was told my coworkers are complaining

about me being too quiet at my desk...too distant. They said " we have noticed

you aren't yourself and not the person we hired. " I burst into tears because

they just dont get it. My bosses brother has Misophonia and he STILL doesn't

understand. He tells me I am just being negative and I should find some way to

help myself. I am so frustrated right now. Thanks for listening, everyone. I

have no one else to talk to...
