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.
*bit of
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
I have an ocd over food. I can not feel full if i don't have the last grains of rice and I should count. Before, I got a real bad stomach ache and nausea so I should eat on track. But one of my weirdness appears as time goes on that thing I mentioned and how I have to wait until certain time to swallow and digest the food. It's as if I keep myself for not reccuring anymore. It's so strange, if I don't follow it I would get sleepy and can not concentrate. It's like time really matters to me. And my head becomes weird if I don't listen to it. I wanna fight it but I think I can't. There are times even when I got staggered and wanna fall. Anyone here fighting over food ocd and signals in your head?
Hi Everyone - has anyone else had problems with executive functioning - forgetting things, multitasking, attention, not following directions closely, etc. ? If so, what do you do to help? I brought this up to my therapist and she mentioned that I wouldn’t need a therapist Or specialist/coach to work on it - as it would be skills we know to do (take notes, put on reminders, etc). However, I’ve been struggling with OCD for years and none of these “tips” have helped enough. I have had trouble multitasking/ remembering details/forgetting things with jobs and had to quit. It even applies when I am at home - one thing goes in one ear and out the other. I also do not have or been diagnosed with ADHD or any other disorders (just depression from OCD). Does anybody have suggestions? Is it just to manage my OCD better and these things will get better with that? I don’t recall how I was when my OCD was “good” or in better shape (Up until age 18) to gauge this as I didn’t have a job or other life responsibilities. Only thing I can think of is maybe I am so caught up in my head that is causing these issues, aka the severe OCD. Thanks!
