Kind Of Just A Blog To Rant About My Disorders

me:

me: the fuck is visual snow *researches*

oh

that’s not a universal thing?????

also, I COMMONLY get migraines behind the eyes and also literally go blind when I stand up, and have complained about this to my parents a lot but they just tell me to drink more water.

It’s worth mentioning that I don’t have a GP and have been to the doctor one single time in the past decade because I spent a year in agonizing pain and after months of begging, my mom finally took me to a doctor, who even then didn’t know why I was in so much pain.

Myth: misophonia is a sensitivity to loud sounds

Fact: the vast majority of misophonic triggers are “soft” sounds that most people can’t hear

Myth: misophonia is always triggered by loud eating

Fact: while eating is by far the most common trigger, everyone has their own triggers due to their personal experiences.

Myth: misophonia is an “annoyance”

Fact: misophonia causes the “flight or fight” reaction, which causes but is not limited to: adrenaline rush, muscle tension, obscenely violent intrusive thoughts/visions, and extreme emotions such as: violent rage, sheer terror, and extreme panic.

Myth: misophonia is made up because it isn’t in the DSM

Fact: no. just… no. for one there are medical professionals who have dedicated their lives to this disorder. they didn’t do that for something fake. brain scans have shown that are brains are literally differently wired so if that doesn’t prove it to you idk what to tell you.

Myth: misophonics just need to be “desensitized”

Fact: if you trigger someone’s misophonia to “help” them, you are meddling with something you obviously don’t have basic understanding of. more importantly, you are damaging the person you’re trying to “help” in serious and long-term ways. misophonia triggers chemicals that in excess are extremely harmful to the body, and cause a whole mess of problems. since these chemicals aren’t being used by misophonics, they just run through our system and cause damage. not to mention having your misophonia triggered, is a legitimately traumatizing experience.
