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
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!
Anyone have any good coping strategies when they have an ocd flare up or attack?
My ocd gets so loud in the silence and right before bed when there’s no distractions. I always struggled with anxiety since my teens and guided meditation used to help… until OCD. First time trying guided meditation with OCD I had an intrusive thought of “what if you actually lose control and can’t follow these instructions?” And got even more anxious 🫠🫠🫠 had to stop, and haven’t tried to meditate ever since. Just curious to know. Sometimes I feel like I have the worst type of OCD. It will latch onto anything to make me anxious!
