Guest guest Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hello everyone. I have been so moved by everyone's testimonies. I have suffered since I was 6 or 7. For the last 16 years I have thought I was rude and lacked self control. I thought it was all in my head. The sound of gum or ice chewing or anything coming from my Dad or fiance is enough to make me leave the room or glare till they stop...or not. I have tried to force myself to " deal with it. " It only makes it worse. During those times I have a need to scratch my forarms till they bleed. I did that the first tim ewhen I was 9. I don't self-mutilate myself. I just have this horrible crawling sensation when I force myself to deal with the noises. My fiance is way too accomodating. I ended the engagement once because I couldn't deal with the noises. We are back together now. It wasn't enough of an excuse to not marry him. No one else will put up with my attitude towards noises. I haven't been to a movie theater forever. I eat after i feed the family. I can't function normally with my intolerance to food noises. Mouse clicking drives me insane. The high pitched hum of the freezer forces me to leave the room. I just want to be normal! I appreciate everyone here. It is such a comfort to know that I am not the only sufferer. Thanks for sharing all your stories.
