I have two noise-related problems.
#1, one of my stress reactions has become being very sensitive to noise. A slightly loud, sudden, or irritating sound when my stress is high sends my stress through the roof and it's like I would do anything to make it stop. This started sometime last year, a really bad year, and some of the noises remind me of past things that bothered me. Thankfully it doesn't happen very often.
#2, I have misophonia, but it's not the chewing sound that bothers me, it's that wet, smacking noise. I've even lately gotten to where I hear myself do it and I have the same reaction! I have varying degrees of bad responses to it, but I usually always want to cover my ears and sometimes like I said above I'd do just about anything to make it stop. Again, I fear this had specific inspiration.
I have wondered if I had a touch of asperger's, for other reasons. Mainly, I tend to have unusual thought processes, like the story I read once about asperger's where this person was like, "what if it's a zebra?". But I don't really think I have it because I don't really have the other symptoms and there are people who should have told me.
I probably have some form of PTSD.
