While the research may not be caught up enough to say definitively that Misophonia causes depression, I believe for many of us, depression has become a part of our lives. Isolation, sadness, and loss of interest in activities all go hand in hand with misophonia. It can be a hard disorder to live with, and…

Living with Misophonia is a struggle for all of us. How do you work with Misophonia? Imagine working in an office, which you would assume is a quiet atmosphere. WRONG! An office has an infinite number of triggers, from keyboards, shoes on the floor to those annoying co-workers who always have an endless supply of…

When I first discovered what ‘Misophonia’ is, I had an entirely different story to tell. I was relieved there was a name.

Misophonia is officially defined as the hatred of sound. This definition isn’t quite right. Yes I hate some sounds, but not all sounds. I still love music, I love the sound of a baby laughing on his stroller from the Baby Stroller Reviews, I love the sound of my cats purring. But there are some…
