4S - Selective Soft Sound Syndrome
Online Support Group

Hey, im a girl, 14 years old, and I've been reading these stories and feeling a little better knowing I'm not the only one going through this. I have only recently started experiencing the worst of this in the beginning of this year, 2012. Knowing that i can relate to other people in the same way feels good. For example if I'm sitting in my room and I hear plates and utensils clanking, I wanna scream at the top of my lungs. my room is downstairs and the kitchen is right above me, which doesn't really help lol. And don't think that I think it's funny, today had been my worst experience of misophonia. I literally was at my friends house ad her two sisters were slurping there ice cream, I texted my mom and fled outta there. On the ride home, I heldmyself back from crying so hard that my throat was burning. Then, as soon as I got home I went to my room and cried. This is major thing for me whenever I hear the sounds, it gets to a point where I feel as if the anger inside of me must come out as tears or else it's just building up inside and il never be able to let it go. Crying is my way of coping. Anyways, I cried for about twenty minutes, then fell asleep, I have been in my room since 4 o clock pm, and now it's 10 o clock pm. I guess im basically just isolating myself from hearing sounds the least. My sequence had been sleeping, waking up, hearing footsteps and creaking and talking upstairs, which makes me start crying, then eventually crying myself back to sleep. I don't know what to do, I feel as if everything that my parents do or say bother me. Up to the way they talk..... I feel guilty when they try to help me and I tell them to go away, leave my alone. I do love them but at te same time I feel like everything they do bothers me, and I'm wondering if it's because of misophonia or if there's also something else... Hopefully there isn't though. I don't really know what else to say about this, but that is basically a little introduction about what I'm dealing with. I appreciate replies whether it's sharing your own stories similar to mine, or different. I'm willing to help anyone and talk to anyone, as I am also struggling for advice for myself. Im hoping that one day, all of this will be history. Thank you, and goodbye for now.

I have cried before about the noises too! Im 17, but now i dont get angry I have a Tic. A tic is a compulsion of the body, or spastic movements. I can at least be around the people I love now, but I am have a twitch. I wrote a Discussion called "Tic tci ticing" if you want to look for it and read it. I recommend Hypnosis. I know- it sounds crazy, but it really helped me and my tic went away for a week or so.
