My Condition: Misophonia (see more in description)

[@neurontina]

Hi Garrison, thank you for speaking about this. You're a very eloquent, articulate speaker. I also struggle with misophonia, mostly with any sounds relating to chewing such as slurping and smacking. It is difficult for me because I have to avoid eating with others. It's frustrating because whenever I communicate this condition with others they seem to take it personally and act as if it's just a pet peeve or me being overdramatic. But it seems like our brains have a bit of a "glitch" where certain sounds that aren't important are perceived as such and are amplified, causing this intense emotion that we experience. Hopefully, more research will be conducted in the coming years on this condition and how to treat it. It's good to hear you have found a healthy way to cope with your misophonia. I wish you the best of luck with your endeavors and your musical career.

Hi! You're welcome! I don't often talk about my Misophonia, because not everyone understands. I hope they will do more research on this and come up with ways to deal with the condition. We're trying to do our best to live in a world that isn't made for people like us.

Hey just commenting to let you know I learned a lot from this video! I had no prior knowledge about misophonia but am glad you made this informative video! I had a question also, is it mostly auditory stimulants that cause your discomfort or can visual stimulants cause it as well like seeing someone chewing food? Hoping for your best in this life Garrison! Keep teaching.

It's mainly auditory stimulants that get me anxious.
