Re: living hell

[Guest guest]

My doctor in Sydney takes me seriously. She referred me to the psychologist of

my choice and happily renews the referral whenever that is required. She was

very supportive and helpful.

But she had never heard of misophonia before I raised it with her.

I am sorry! I don't think most people who don't suffer from it themselves take

the condition seriously. I usually don't even bring it up to people unless

necessary because I understand that for them, someone who has NO idea what it

must be like, it's hard to grasp. I try to be understanding of those less

knowledgable about it, but you can only handle so much. Thank God most of my

family are very much like me. I have a lot more trouble with Misophonia than

most of my family members except my twin. She blows when noise gets to her, but

it's also relieving to me when she yells at someone to stop eating so loudly.

Lol. However, my parents have always been the same way! So while they do not

know that it is a condition, they know what noise irritates them, so they rarely

bug others. That is helpful big time.

My partner of 6 years, he doesn't quite get it, but tries so very hard! He's

really supportive and I often will try and joke about my crazy anger when he

taps, eats or whistles. I try to laugh about it so he doesn't feel like he's

constantly walking on eggshells, but a lot of times I blow up before I am able

to calm down and make a joke about it. It's hard, but he's so understanding and

kind about it that I try and ease the tension. Thing is, I'm pretty positive

that his (my partner's) dad has misophonia too! He's exactly like me.

Anyways, when I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out one by one or giving away

a free black eye, I come straight here! There's nothing like the support here.

Just coming, reading a bit while I'm in a situation where I am raging helps.

There are sometimes when I'm sitting listening to some disrespectful person

crunch a blasted pickle for 35 minutes straight and I'll think to myself 'dear

God how I wish I had access online right now, so that I can come here!'

So this support group just being here, knowing they're here has been huge! I've

only joined a couple weeks ago and I feel better a lot of times. You may not

have support elsewhere, but you'll at least have this and it is something.
