My heart goes out to you and your daughter.I relate to what you shared. I have

yet to find a Dr. or mental help professional that is knowelable and sympathetic

to our condition.

I relate Misophonia to OCD and other anxiety type malidies, and the technique

many therapists use for these is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I imagine you are

already familiar with this.

Well, I figured rather than laying myself bare for yet another therapist who may

or may not be supportive, i would get books and learn CBT techniques on my own.

It is very draining for me to explain this condition to a new theripist and

there is the fear of judgement attatched. Odd...one would think that would be a

safe envirionment, but it often is not. As you and your daughter have found. Im

sorry.

If i was able to go to school I would wish to become a therapist and help people

like us.....but school wasnt in the cards for me, too many triggers there. :)

I too " crash " after stressfull events. If I have a day that is exceptionally

stressfull the next day I will often feel physical pain in my whole body, like a

flu..but not have any virus.

I think Mysophonia can be especially hard on women because of hormone

fluctuations around our menstrual cycle.

Oh Lord, does that wind me up ! >_<

I wish I had more in the way of answers for you, I think we are all searching

for answers, but I can give you the assurance that your daughter is not alone in

this.

I can also say that though life hasnt gone exactly as I had imagined or dreamt

when i was a little girl, it hasnt all been terrible. :)

Those of us with Misophonia have a rough road to walk, but there are still

blessings along the way.I have found a wonderful partner in life and he has

known about my condition all along, as do my children. Living with a mom with

Misophonia has its challenges, as does being a mom with Misophonia...but that a

subject for another post.

Having this forum is huge for her. Having the support and the awareness that you

are not alone in this battle is huge for you both. I am very graetfull for it

and happy that you are here and that you are soo very supportive of your child.

<3

p.s. she is welcome to email me as well if she would care to..I am a mother of 4

,two daughters 20 and 12, and I also remember being 14 myself , with Misophonia.

Take care! :)

I'm so glad you're managing to laugh! Reading your response made my day. I think

laughter makes misophonia a little easier to bear, just like it eases physical

pain sometimes.

Hang tough!

Your daughter probably it sounds like isn't in sp ed, but if there is any diagnosed disability and maybe Misophoina qualifies as it relates to anxiety and is causing her to miss school that she might be eligible for homebound instruction??? Anyway anyone eligible for sp ed...and it doesn't just have to be students with developmental disorders, can graduate with their peers even if they are not finished with high school. My daughter who does have a dev. disability, did graduate with her peers and could have stayed in school until 21. But due to 4s, we decided that last year would be her last year in school...it made her so miserable everyday to go to school. So, we were done.Subject: Re: I am so sad!!To: Soundsensitivity Date: Wednesday, December 14, 2011, 9:43 AM

I have done the same thing, sending old doctors the articles and trying to spread the word as well. I too, see my daughter not finishing school. I will fight for her to finish since she loves to learn but I am also open to the fact that she has to do it when she is ready. They told me she has until she is 21 to get her high school diploma or if she is eager she could even graduate earlier. Her dream is to graduate with her friends. At this rate with her missing so much school,I don't know how it is possible. I think your son will do the same, do it in his own time and when ready. It's never to late to go back. Does he work? Is he able to?

Your daughter probably it sounds like isn't in sp ed, but if there is any diagnosed disability and maybe Misophoina qualifies as it relates to anxiety and is causing her to miss school that she might be eligible for homebound instruction??? Anyway anyone eligible for sp ed...and it doesn't just have to be students with developmental disorders, can graduate with their peers even if they are not finished with high school. My daughter who does have a dev. disability, did graduate with her peers and could have stayed in school until 21. But due to 4s, we decided that last year would be her last year in school...it made her so miserable everyday to go to school. So, we were done.Subject: Re: I am so sad!!To: Soundsensitivity Date: Wednesday, December 14, 2011, 9:43 AM

I have done the same thing, sending old doctors the articles and trying to spread the word as well. I too, see my daughter not finishing school. I will fight for her to finish since she loves to learn but I am also open to the fact that she has to do it when she is ready. They told me she has until she is 21 to get her high school diploma or if she is eager she could even graduate earlier. Her dream is to graduate with her friends. At this rate with her missing so much school,I don't know how it is possible. I think your son will do the same, do it in his own time and when ready. It's never to late to go back. Does he work? Is he able to?

I’m sorry it took a while to reply . . . No, my son does not work (has never worked) and is on disability, officially for severe OCD and severe anxiety. He really does not like being on disability and would prefer to work. He could possibly work, but only if accomodations were made, mostly for his misophonia which isn’t even part of his official diagnosis/disability. Also, although he is very smart, would like to work, and would be a very good and honest employee, most employers would not hire him as they would perceive him to be “odd” or “different” (particularly during an interview) – such a shame.

Often employers will accomodate this issue, they are more sympathetic for a

valued employee that we might suspect.

This last week had a young man who was given a private office at his work due to

this, very nice employer and of course, he can do his work so much better.

Thank you for your words of encouragement, Dr. J. Now if I can just figure out how to get someone to accept and hire him in the first place, especially because he does have issues (e.g. OCD) other than misophonia that make surviving an interview extremely difficult and being accepted/hired through the interview process highly unlikely. He would need a special “personal connection” through a nearby place of employment, which we do not have – someone who would be willing to take a chance on him outside of the normal hiring process. Still, it’s good to hear about instances where some employers have been understanding in making accomodations for misophonia!

hi there, this is intended for the lady with the 14 yo daughter.... first off god bless you and your daughter. and you are a great parent..iam brand new to this and iam not a good writer but me and my twin brother have lived with this weird disorder for the past 35 years.(extreme) well anybody with miso is extreme... (so grateful for this group) .. iam a leval headed guy and have never taken any prescibed drugs ....when i wass younger 9 thru the teens was by far the hardest times everybody including family members just thought we where crazy or very sensitive...the hardest part was school , i would get so frustrated with other classmates and freinds. i would take it to a personel level(direct threat)whenever someone would sniff,click pens, breath hard , tap anything,rub there feet on the ground , even visually, people mouths moving while chewing,fingers

wiggleing,and the list goes on...thru my long experiiance with this is(IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PHYSCOLOGICAL ISSUES OR MENTAL ISSUES)iam not a doctor nor have i studied anything medical.but i dont know the word but something diddnt get wired right .....to everyday normal people they would just think its some kind of phobia that can be fixed with (THERAPY or DRUGS)NOT THE CASE.........................I LAUGH AT THE THOUGHT...IVE SOMEHOW FIGUERD OUT HOW TO MANAGE LIFE.. I WORK IN CONSTRUCTION WICH IS TOLERABLE BECAUSE IAM ALWAYS MOVING AROUND AND NOT STUCK IN OFFICES OR ENVIROMENTS THAT DOESNT ALLOW ME TO ESCPE IMMEDIATELY, I KNOW YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER , .

Hi , Your notes made me so happy. I feel inspired from you. You

have given me hope. You have found a job that works for you. You have

found a way to manage. I read both your notes and they made me smile

because you figured out a way to live with this. I appreciate you

taking the time to write what has worked for you. I'm so sorry you had

to struggle too growing up but you gave me hope that things can improve

after my daughter's teen years. I am taking your advice about the

medicine, they are still trying to force me to give her new meds.

They think I am a bad parent because I won't try another med. I'm so

glad your mom knows what it is now, that there is a name for this

terrible condition. That must have been a great christmas present for

both of you. I hope your brother is doing well also. I loved

hearing your story, thanks for sharing and taking the time to write.
