    I cannot stand a ticking clock, a flashing lights or really anything repetitive. I get anxiety or become angry when I am around these things. I feel like I’ve been more isolated socially because of it, although to have not always been like this. When I was around 11 or so I started noticing the clock in the house or the fan and It would drive me nuts, but with age it has only got worse. I’m not entirely sure it misophonia or miso kinesia is what I have. I face complications at work and home or around my town with the ticking clocks and flashing lights or repetitive movements so it’s been hard and when I try tot explain it to a co worker or my boss or a friend or a stranger they give the funniest look and i just get lost thinking about the look they gave me and I get depressing feelings. My parents always thought it was something I could overcome or live with but I think they are starting to realize they were wrong. When I was younger they put me on medication to see if it would stop my symptoms but it didn’t work. And they.didnt even try to tell me what was wrong with me or give me a name for it. I feel like it’s causing a lot of my depression and hostility towards people I love but I have yet to find a fix for my broken mind

      I’m sorry to hear that Dakota :/ I also suffer from Misophonia so I can relate to you a bit. I wish I could offer some solution to it but sadly there is nothing you can really do but avoid the triggers- which is the most frustrating thing ever. I feel so bad when I snap at my family or friends… It makes me feel like a bad person :/ My parents don’t even believe in Misophonia despite my fits or pleas. I hope that people can at least feel free to talk or vent here as much as possible and we can support each other when others won’t. I hope to hear more from you and any others who just wanna talk.
