But anyone else have a bit if misophonia? Frustration with noises, I know it can depend on different things and possibly different conditions. If you have any tips, feel free to share
I do- I don’t really have much advice but it’s gotten intense with my ocd. I didn’t know there was a name for it, I question if it’s a form of autism for myself but I’m sitting with the maybe it is maybe it isn’t… but as far as the noises go I usually try to avoid as much as I can or leave situations but I live at home with my kids so that’s not always an option lol Im going to try to challenge myself and turn it into an exposure. to sit with the discomfort instead of trying to avoid it and just allow my feelings to be there.
Yeah misophonia and sleep is likely my main issue, but also sometimes when I need to focus. I believe it to be ADHD related to some degree and am trying maybe maybe not with autism as I only got ASD diagnosis as a middle schooler and am not sure how the Dr. came to the conclusion
@A23 But I have an idea lol
@Elliss That’s very true lol have you started practicing exposures to try to broaden your tolerance?
I have sometimes debilitating misophonia. It's honestly the reason I downloaded this app. It's hard. There is no clear cut advice. My biggest advice is finding something that helps mine is my earbuds. Even without music it helps. And try not ro let it control your life. It sucks but you can't let it have power over you or it will just get worse. So sometimes at least I have yo borderline gaslight myself to make it better.

i’ve been having this theme pop up recently where if I see people either criticize or be a hater and spread misinformation or seeing old controversies about my current interests/hyper-fixations i find myself having a crazy anxiety attack about if it’s “morally okay” to be interested in my interests anymore. i feel really singled out and like im doing something wrong because im watching a youtuber or listening to a specific musical group. in all of these specific situations the people involved have talked about the situations and have changed accordingly but seeing it makes me feel like i shouldn’t be allowed to like my favorite things. to be clear none of these things are dramatically evil or bad. it’s either misinformation/uneducated people influencing someone opinion and then they learn and change. it just makes me feel like im not allowed to like my favorite things anymore because of people criticizing it??? if that makes sense??? also this is a little off topic but also not really because i’m 99.99% sure im autistic because of MANY things but with this specifically i have very strong interests and i feel very deep feelings about them and any and all criticism or hateful comments towards my favorite things trigger me deeply and make my ocd act up and make me feel uncomfortable and uncertain and anxious and it causes physical discomfort to me. i really don’t know how to calm myself down about this specific theme it’s brand new and makes me feel really anxious. not trying to look for reassurance but does anyone else understand what i mean??? does anyone have any advice on how to not give into the negative comments??? any suggestions on how to ease this specific anxiety???
Hey guys just wondering if anyone suffers from this type of OCD. I feel a big struggle to even begin things because it doesn’t feel right or if I resume things it doesn’t feel right. Anyone have any advice ? Thank you
Does anyone have any tips that helped them? Mine is due to a specific person and I work with them so it’s been really difficult. I’ve started ERP which has been reaaalllllly challenging and I would love to hear from anyone else that has gone through any type of contamination ocd and how they have overcome or are fighting their way through it. Thank you!l
