I need your help r9k. I have a certain condition, but I'm not sure exactly what to call it. Whenever someone sniffles around me, it instantly draws my attention, no matter how faint the sniffle. The sound engulfs my thoughts, makes my eyes and brain physically hurt, and makes me instantly, 100% infuriated. I am just triggered to extreme pain, depression and fury by a sound that everyone makes. I want to know what this is called. It has cost me everything I've her tried to accomplish, and this problem single handedly caused me to drop out of high school. Is this obsessive compulsive disorder? Inb4 'deal with it', or 'edgy'. I seriously cannot control this whatsoever. But seriously, what is this called? Is there a name for my condition?

It sounds like you had some traumatic experience you are suppressing that is tied to someone sniffling. Child molester with a cold in your youth?

>>6004393 >>6004393 Well that was fast. I grew up being constantly raped, and after which my grandmother who sniffles non-stop 24/7 would drive me to school. So I guess you're right as fuck.

I have misophonia. Whenever I hear someone chewing food I get filled with the rage of 1000 exploding stars. I almost punched my own mother in the face because of this.

>>6004530 OP here. I know that feel so hard bro. I have never had a friendship that was not, at one point or another, seriously affected by this.

>>6004473 someone totally different here. do I have misphonia? I feel an uncontrollable rage when I'm trying to eat and read 4chan/play vidya, and my fiancee starts talking in my ear. I don't ever feel mad when she takes my attention away any other time... I've been able to recognize the source of the rage and control it somewhat when it happens, but shit, my brain isn't supposed to do that.

>>6004447 Sometimes, my friend, I don't wish to be right. You should consider therapy, if only to see if it can help you. I won't lie to you, it may not, but you deserve to have a good life and if therapy has even the potential to help you should take it.
