i am so relieved to finally find something to explain what i have struggled with since a child. i think Halterbroke posted a link on this quite some time ago.
ever since i was a child i have had issues with certain sounds...they would enrage me....i could not sit next to my father at dinner time as the noise of him eating would drive me into a rage... as i gt older i ended up eating in my bedroom. the sight and sound of my brother sucking his thumb would have my inside in knots as soon as i saw it or heard it.
i also cannot stand the sound of animals eating or cleaning themselves...and i cant even look at it.
it was fight or flight....i would have t leave the room!
i rarely visit people who have animals around all the time....
and i even try to avoid car journeys with my father as he chews gum...even if it is quietly ...seeing the jaw movement through the corner of my eye makes me literally want to want to scream.
an ex partner thought was completely insane as i couldnt stand the sound of his breathing whilst sat next to him on the sofa..i used to put an earplug in!!!! my whole body feels as if its going to explode with anger!
anyone else relate to this???

There is a woman in our office that has a "nervous laugh" but it's soooo loud. I can hear it across the whole office. If I'm sitting next to her when she laughs, it's deafening. I'm not the only one who is affected by her laugh, though. It is really bad!
No.....out......hmmm.....in
It sends me into a rage. I have to be very careful to keep outwardly calm so other people don't think I'm...well...nuts.
So, its out there....
wishing you peace and comfort, and some way to decrease it......
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
My joke, well - lots of new Dx, and they keep changing that book!
Knowing the name of a struggle helps find solutions - my humor, I handle everything like that, again - no offense!
My friend hates the sound of munching, but that's because she got yelled at for making too much noise eating as a child, so I guess it's more of negative-association.
Hearing someone's heartbeat. Ewwwwwwwwwww....I keep waiting to hear it Stop! Gives me the creeps.
Waterboard!
Journey's "Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin" with all those Na Na's at the end are quite annoying, but not as bad as the one you're talking about! Hahaha!
Tirian, have you ever heard of Sensory Integration Disorder? My friend and my son's have that. It's possible. Or maybe an association neurosis. Or a dash of both.
