Misophonia and OCD
After a full night without a minute of sleep, I definitely feel there is a link between misophonia and OCD. I have been diagnosed with both, and they both heighten my anxiety. Last night before bed I heard a sound that truly upset my misophonia, and in turn I now feel so wrong and dirty? I’m not sure if that makes sense, but I don’t feel as clean and sure of myself. I’ve tried exposure therapies but I don’t feel they have helped lessen the stress I get from these sounds. I’m still in stress hives at the moment, and I’ve tried lots of different distraction methods throughout the night (all unsuccessful since the sound is still stuck in my head and replaying). If anyone has any experience in this, please feel free to share. It would be greatly appreciated :)
