Misophonia is real. Some psychiatrists will have read about it. It especially affects people with bipolar & autism. I have had it all my life but only recently read about it. I have to wear ear plugs if I am going to be in a grocery store due to all the noise. I cannot go to theme parks or discos due to this problem. It is not your imagination. It's real---but there is no known cure. I've talked about this with others who have it & they say the ear plugs are the best solution for now.

When I asked my psychiatrist if she had heard of it, she said no and seemed to have no interest in finding out about it. In the past, I kept hearing the whole PTSD flashbook thing, but I have zero memories of any sexual abuse in my childhood. I was in therapy for 10 yrs and never did recall the repressed memories that I was told I had. Does anyone have any ideas or success in explaining misophonia to psychiatrists/therapists? I appreciate any thoughts/experiences  ! |
