I still feel crazy...

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, I am new here and by pure fate I happened to be watching the Today

show this morning and saw the piece. I am blown away that there is a name for

it. For a long time I googled sensitivity to sound and whatever but never came

up with misophonia.

My triggers are pouring (coffee, juice, milk, milk into a bowl of cereal),

slurping, loud eating/crunching. Even the clanking of a spoon in a glass sets

me off.

I get it's a genetic thing but I wonder, for you all, who in your family has it?

Your parents, or someone further down the line? I can't think of my parents

having this.

Thanks and I am so happy to finally have a name for this.

Hi and welcome! It's not a definite that it is genetic, but many of us

here do have family members with it. My sister has it, her daughter has it, and

my mother has it to some degree. I am the worst of us. The strange thing is,

none of us knew we all had it until I 'spilled the beans' at a luncheon I was on

with them a couple years ago. I told them about 'my problem' and that is when

they all were shocked to say they experienced it also. If other members of the

family don't have misophonia, often times they have other anxiety type

disorders, ocd, etc... My family has those as well... we are a silly bunch
