Does anyone here have this? If you do, do you find that your triggers contribute heavily to your anxiety and set off panic attacks?
If you don't know what Misophonia is, it's where you feel anger, disgust and panic at certain sounds. I know everyone gets disgusted by people chewing loudly and slurping coffee etc, but for Misophonia sufferers it's a really extreme emotional response, like I have to leave the room if I hear one of my trigger sounds and then I'll literally cry out of anger.
My trigger sounds seem to be the root cause of my anxiety. I'm a student and when I come home to visit my Dad, my anxiety is worse than ever, and I think it's because he lives in a bungalow so there is no peace and quiet apart from late at night. Through the day, no matter what room you're in, you can constantly hear the TV, the radio, voices, footsteps on wooden floor, people eating etc etc. I'm a nervous wreck after being home all summer. Thank the lord I go back to uni in two days!
Just curious if you find your anxiety/panic attacks are caused by sounds?
