I don't know if this is at all related to bipolar but that's my only diagnosis and I like you guys
Certain sounds will make me explode. Like right now I'm trying not to murder someone who is clipping her nails. This happens a lot and I used to actually flip out because of clocks ticking, snoring, and breathing. My dad breathes weird and I can't be around him because of this. It really interferes with my day to day life. I understand being mildly annoyed, but is being as angry as it gets normal?
Anyone else have this? More importantly, anyone know how to make it go away?
Trying so hard right now not to start a fight.

Misophonia: When sounds really do make you “crazy” - Harvard Health Blog - Harvard Health Publishing

I get this when it comes to sounds made from the body. Nothing makes me feel more like a jerk when Im trying to stop myself from internal rage just because someone has a cough or a sniffle... but unfortunately those sounds for some reason just drive me up the wall. The feeling of needing to escape makes me jittery and unable to concentrate, and that just compounds my frustration.

Thanks for the link. It describes me to a T. I've calmed down and I guess I just have to find some effective ear plugs.

YES!! Nobody ever understands that I am not just distracted or annoyed by certain sounds, but that they set my whole body on edge and bring me to a fiery rage if I can’t get away. I avoid situations that I think I might encounter them, but it’s not realistic to avoid ever eating with someone or standing near a loud breather in a line. Some of my most frequent anger sounds are:

Lip smacking during eating
Licking finger sound during eating
Crunching while eating
Loud gum chewing and snapping
Wet consonant sounds (like when someone makes a /k/ sound and I can hear the wetness in the back of their mouth)
Tapping fingers
Loud mouth breathing
Snoring
Voices that are above a whisper but still trying to be quiet
That slurpy sound people make while eating soup
Releasing air sounds that people make after drinking something

I’m sure there are more. It’s really isolating to have this intense anger for no good reason. People think I’m being prissy or demanding or making a big deal out of stupid piddly things — and I agree that they ARE stupid piddly things — but something different is apparently happening in my brain when I hear these sounds than the typical person experiences. I’m sorry you experience it too. It’s nice to learn that it’s not just me though.

Hah I literally walk around with earplugs in half the timr just because little sounds like that do tend to overwhelm me. I have mild sensory problems in general though- and its just much more comfortable for me to have the barrier that earplugs provide.

There might be other things you can do too though- I dunno- I know a little bit about this but not a lot! So who knows!

I wear noise cancelling earphones on public transport. I can not stand the way people treat a train carriage as if it’s their house.

Any repetitive sound, like bass coming from a car next to me in traffic or screaming children, makes me bonkers. I also can't stand balloons popping, slurping, snoring, or coughing. I've mellowed out since I've been on meds, but I still hate those sounds and do my best to avoid them.

Crying and whiny children. That's #1 hands down. Can't stand it. I don't so much get angry as it goes to my bones like nails on a chalkboard and I have to get away if possible. Dishes being put away is a sound that really bothers me that I don't hear people mention often in regards to this.

I'm so sorry you're going through all of this, spikes You're definitely not alone in this as this thread has already shown. You've been given some great advice in this thread. I'd suggest to follow it if you can.I'd suggest to talk to your doctor about this and see how it goes from there. Hopefully he/she will be able to help you. I'm so sorry. It must be very annoying and hard for you. I hope you'll be able to get the help you need and deserve. Remember that we're here for you if you need it. Feel free to PM me anytime. Let me know if I can do something to help you. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this

I don't like or can handle people getting to loud around me and repetitive sounds. I'll tell them to shut the f up after I'm super manic AF. Straight Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the best way to explain when I lose it. Then I'm screwed for at least a week or more from it, so I limit the time I spend at places where that could happen. I usually just go to expensive venues as most people that have money are well behaved and mannered.
