Hello newbie Here

BrainOnFire — Sat, 27 May 2023 22:49:03 GMT

Hello. I'm new and have no idea what or why I'm here. I guess it's because I genuinely know I need support. And just not sure where to turn to. It's as if I'm always helping others but completely forgot myself. I suffer misphonia. Crippling and debilitating disorder of extreme sensitivity to sound. Particularly for me the sound of howling wind but other noises too. It sends me into a state where I struggle to get out of. I feel alone and sad.The motivation is so little. My misphonia is not getting any better and I worry about myself. The way I act is like a react to sound response. I can handle sound for awhile then suddenly I feel like my whole body is moving but my brain is cationic. I don't know if that makes sense. I get depressed and just want to hide. My interest become zero and I know it's getting worse so I just thought I'd come here for support. I can't keep living life in a suffering bubble. I know I need help. Thanks for listening everyone.

Hello BrainonFire,

Thanks for your post. I've never heard of misphonia but it seems very distressing. Here is another thread on these forums about it: https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/need-help-understanding-misophonia/td-p/204052

I would recommend seeing your GP and seeking a psychiatrist who deals specifically with this diagnosis.

Hope that helps.

Bob

Hi BrainonFire, I'm new here too, but just would like to say even know I don't know anything about misphonia, it's cool to read your post - to see even though (maybe) it's a little confusing, you are trying to get support, it sounds like it has been quite hard too. Hope you find some comfort here.
