Anxiety disorders + OCD

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,My original post was deleted by accident, so I thought I'd repost it:I was wondering if many other people with Misophonia also suffer from somewhat-related issues, especially anxiety disorders.Along with Misophonia, I'm also currently working on getting diagnosed for a few things, what I believe are: Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and Atypical Depression.I do not know what came because of Misophonia for me, or would have been an issue anyway. Most likely the anxiety and depression came as a result of/were worsened by the Misophonia, but I think I've always had minor OCD tendencies (such as worrying obsessively about symmetry). Some of my issues with OCD also seem to have blended with my misophonic triggers.Does anyone else suffer from depression or an anxiety disorder along with Misophonia? I also wonder if finding out the rate of co-occurrence of these issues would give some clue as to what causes/effects Misophonia... Perhaps some of these things are related? I've heard theories that Misophonia is an overlooked symptom of OCD, or that Misophonia is an anxiety disorder in and of itself. Not saying this is definitely the case, but it's an interesting and possibly useful way of looking at Misophonia. Thoughts?The amount of people that have responded that they also have obsessive/compulsive behaviors (sadly most of those responses have been deleted as well) really makes me wonder if there's a connection with Misophonia... Maybe a survey is in order?Meridian
