Day 60: There is a thunderstorm outside.
The sky is flashing so much, it needs a seizure warning and the thunder sounds like cannonballs.
I am afraid of dying. Our neighbors have a huge tree in their yard and in a strong storm it could break off and crush our roof.
I don't want to be crushed to death.
It's hailing outside too. Big ice balls, not yet big enough to Crack the windows but still making lots of noise.
We pulled all possible plugs. TV, Computer, Radios, even the coffee machine. They might get destroyed if lightning strikes.
I hate the noise that thunder makes. Thunderstorms, especially heat storms make me think of suffocating, burning and pressure.
Sometimes I just want to hide in a small nook with no bad noise or feeling.
I hear the wooden supports of our house making noise, it's horrible. I want to leave but outside is dangerous.
I don't know what to do.
I hate thunderstorms.
No longer using responses as of June 25th, 2023. However, you’re free to still answer the questions if you want a place to talk/rant about your experiences!
Misophonia Survey - reblogs appreciated!!!
HAI!!! Ok. So. Misophonia, - when you hear certain sounds made by others that [drive you mad], give you a feeling of abnormal disgust, anger, or discomfort. I have that! It really sucks!!!! And I want more people to know about it! For those unfamiliar but wanting to learn, this is a good base article to read.
I'm working on a project based around misophonia for school, and one part of this is a survey - and I'd really appreciate, if you know/believe you have it, if you'd spare some time to fill it out...?
It's completely anonymous :3 There's a place to give a name, but only if you want to. You can use it as a place to vent, You can be as lengthy as you want, or as short as you can possibly manage. However you wish to be!! There is verrry small mention of self harm at the scale-based question, but that's it.
14 questions: 2 for your name/consent, 3 multiple choice questions, 8 open-ended text questions, and 1 bonus one for misokinesia.
For those who followed me for art,, Help me share this and i can get back even faster ;) ;). asjdfgdnf That felt evil sorry! This is a really important topic to me o|-<
If you don't have it yourself, but still reblog it, thank you so so so much!!!
Misophonia

Birdsong
Pen clicking
Loud breathing
Wrappers rustling
Tapping fingers
Boiling kettle
Typing
Ticking clocks
Snoring
Fluorescent lights

Note: Sound sensitivity isn't exclusive to autism, but is incredibly common in autistic people. It's also one of the difficulties that people often cannot understand and grossly underestimate if they do not experience it themselves. I'll repost this soon with visual descriptions (I'm currently sick with COVID-19). If you find anything I post helpful, please consider buying me a Ko-Fi.

having misophonia and having friends that don't is a fun reminder that my sound hating experience is not. universal

Going to therapy!!!! Every Tuesday I look forward for this!
DISCLAIMER ⚠️: I am not trying to brag at all or complain. Just telling y’all about my day.
Although I didn’t have the best day, I hope all of you had a great day!! I am happy that I have what I have.
Today was honestly rough. Lots of tears shedded. I was super overwhelmed and just felt that I couldn’t take care of myself. Honestly, I am soooo grateful that Joey posted (on his main channel today) (he turned into a drag queen and preformed) it was pretty epic. Throughout the whole entire video I had a GIANT smile on my face. That was the only time I smiled today. I did have counseling today. I go to counseling because I have Misophonia, Misokinesia, and OCD. All three of those are what cause me to be “depressed”. I really am trying to change my perspective on life and make my life seem better (even if it isn’t on the outside). I really want to change my feelings and not always feel like I am sad, etc. I love seeing you with a smile on your face, it makes me happy. I want you to know that if you need someone to talk to or are feeling sad, etc that I am here. I would do anything for you cause you did (and still do) soo much for me. Even if you didn’t even know. I want to thank @joeygraceffa for what you do and the huge impact you have on people lives (especially for me). LOVE YOU!

i think it means: people who miss phone calls...or maybe it’s people who dial the wrong number—that is, they miss-phone ya.

I recently got noise cancelling headphones because I have a lot of sensory issues and misophonia. I have been hesitant to use them because I don't want them to be a crutch but that's stupid. If you need to wear headphones to do the dishes because the sound of silverware clanking together makes you feel like dying then do it. If you need that aid then use it.
Same, but with people who don't blow their nose and just sit there, breathing through their snotty nose making the worst sound ever.
Urgh, why don't more people swallow their spit when their mouths get too wet? I find those tutting noises that they unintentionally make when they talk and open their mouths really irritating >-<
Fun fact! There's this thing called misokinesia that's similar to misophonia but is triggered by other people's movements, often repetitive movements like fidgeting or stimming.
I had this as a kid really bad, I was always having meltdowns cause no one would understand just how distressing it was for me so it's really nice to find out that it's an actual thing :3
Wishing that everyone who deals with misokinesia isn't forced to stay in a space with triggering movements 🥰🥰🥰

I am going to be sick or cry or set someone on fire if I have to keep hearing ts.
Dawg I genuinely barely woke up, and my uncle was breathing so loud and making so much noise I actually almost started crying. My misophonia hasn't bothered me like in so long, but he was breathing so loud I actually just couldn't take it. How can people breathe so loud and not be bothered. It was so bad. I tried covering my ears but my piercing started hurting, and I can't plug my ears because of my nails. He was just. Breathing. So loud. I had to put on my noise cancelling earbuds and start blaring music to escape the literal torture. I tried to get a grip on myself before that but I was just gripping my wrist really hard and painfully, which didn't help anything (unsurprisingly), so here we are. I wouldn't wish misophonia on anyone, except these loud ass people. Like what do you mean I want to hurt myself aggressively because he's breathing loudly. What do you mean that's what's so upsetting
Why is math so hard? Like, I get that I have dyscalculia or whatever it is, but like, wtf why’s math gotta be a bitch??
