My parents are not abusive and actually are quite patient with me. But I agree with you about moving out. I’m currently in college and it helps to not talk to my parents every single day.
It can be hard sometimes, thank goodness for earplugs though!
Right, soft speaking stuff drives me crazy
I am the same way, I hate breathing sounds lol
Thank you!
I’ve tried Flonase, Afrin, and Ipratropium. They work temporarily, but don’t clear up the issue. The picture I attached to my post are the results of my CT. Thanks for your advice!
I changed the process a little, but that was very helpful! Thank you!
I only eat with my family occasionally because I’m away at college lol. But thanks so much for understanding and offering suggestions!
For the most part I don’t eat with my family, as I am in college currently. But they make sure to nag me about using all my meal swipes/dining dollars lol. But I definitely learned that lying can get people to listen to me. Like telling my aunt I’m pre diabetic, since in a way I was telling the truth.
I completely agree with you! Making my family aware of this is my top priority. I can’t use your second or third suggestion because I have a very high metabolism and run 5-6 days a week lol. But I will definitely consider lying about eating beforehand! I’ve done it before and it helps a lot.
Your brother’s story seems very similar to mine. I get the same way, I want to eat normally, but sometimes I just can’t. My family and I do bond over board games and game shows which does help.
I’ve looked into that actually, I do have a pair of headphones that block about 30 decibels, they’re super helpful. I am always on the quest for new headphones though lol
I have, I used to wear them all the time when my Misophonia was at its worst, but I’ve got to the point where I don’t need to wear them as often. I do wear them sometimes though, unfortunately I didn’t have them on me this week
Yes, structure definitely helps!
Thank you! It really helps knowing there are people older than me with similar problems
Thanks so much! I definitely use social stories as a coping mechanism
Omg yes, people asking if I’m good is so annoying
I’ve snapped so many times, my parents tell me to be grateful for the coddling lol
I am the same way, my parents do that to me a lot. And thanks so much for telling me about paragraphs! Normally I do use paragraphs but often forget to do it on my phone lol
I wouldn’t say that, my parents love me very much. But moving to college has helped with our relationship.
