Episode Four - MISOPHONIA... This is an episode i've ben wanting to cover for some time. Since I was a kid i'd always hate hate hate certain sounds. Mainly eating and clicking and high pitch noises. These sounds would drive me crazy to a point of building an inner and sometimes noticeable rage. Misophonia has cost me relationships, friendships, jobs, opportunities and just overall fun and happiness.
Thankfully Misophonia has finally been identified by the science and medical realms, but there's certainly no cures or relief.
I'm constantly riding that fine line between yelling out "CHEW WITH YOUR MOUTH CLOSED" at loved ones and complete strangers, against just running out of the room angry. Unless you have it and deal with it hourly, you won't understand.
I'm a calm and rational human, Outside of computer issues, bad drivers and idiot smokers, nothing really gets to me to a scary place. But misophonia and the sounds that activate it...they do.
I really hope you listen to this episode and get to know and understand what 6% of this nation deals with, myself included. It's also a sign of a creative genius and higher intelligence... So at least I have that...
