I'm showing this to my parents so they stop telling me that I just have to get over it. I completely broke down in a computer lab today. I'm going to start therapy and try to take back my life. I'm not letting this rule over my happiness anymore.

I'm 57 and just figured it out that I have Misophonia. Had it all my life. It really sucks I know. I hope I can get help myself. Thanks for the video.

The fact that you made this video is very courageous. There are many people like us, and I feel that talking about it can be really cathartic and helpful, after keeping it secret for most of our lives. I too had no idea that other people felt this way until this week when I happened on a newspaper story about misophonia. Thanks for making your video, it is a public service.

Great video. The day I realized that this was an actual disorder I cried. It was such a relief to finally know I wasn't crazy. After fifteen years of it! I hope there comes about more treatment methods in the future.

a sincere, heartfelt thank you for your story. I completely relate to the subway fantasies that you described and especially the TV reactions, the kit-kat commercials and chip commercials make me scream and throw the remote at the screen.

Scott - thank you for posting this video. I thought I was alone and mad. My affliction is swallowing and coughing. Whenever I hear it I want to scream (which I usually do when alone - the guy who lives above me must think I'm a freak!) or rip my head off. I also often wish I was deaf. Everything you say I associate with. Absolutely everything. Thank you for your bravery. The relief I have at knowing I'm not alone is overwhelming. I wish you all the happiness in the world!

Oh my GOD...i CANNOT believe i found this.. thank you..thank you.. my personal hated sound is breathing..(among others) its almost indescribable..my blood literally BOILS..quick as a flash, hot and cold simultaneously.. a (literally) unexplainable rage.. i am 18 years old and have been a sufferer 8 years..8 years i have *never* been without my earplugs. can't believe there are others out there like this. i've seen hypnotherapists, psychologists and numerous doctors. thank you so much for this x

'like that' face was priceless, when u described the cow on the subway. wtf, why do people do these things? I totally hear you. Love the fact that the internet has allowed all of us to find others and let go of that guilt we carry for these feelings and reactions, and knowing it isn't our fault. PEACE and love to all of you!

thank you so much for doing this.. we need more people to get awareness out there, this is so much more serious than it seems to people who do not have to endure this everyday .

30 years. I have been dealing with this, thinking I was crazy, for over 30 years. I now know this is misophonia I suffer from. I also know that I am not alone. Thank you Scott, for having the courage to talk about this. It is freaking embarrassing...because nobody around you is doing anything wrong...yet everything inside you tells you that they are.

What a relief - there have been so many times I've been absolutely enraged by chewing noises, sniffles, etc. I've never been able to understand why no one else in the room was as irritated as I was, and it wasn't until today that I even thought to check the net for a medical problem. I wish I had a dollar for every meal I've spent on the verge of tears & every class/library I've sat in enraged because of wet mouth/sinus noises. I'm relieved, and I can talk myself down from the ledge next time.

I just started doing research yesterday and found out I'm not the only one, thank goodness!!!! It's so comforting to know there are other people out there. Luckily, mine isn't as severe as some other cases, but I still feel their pain of what they have to go through on a daily basis.

thanks for posting this man, for years i have wondered what the hell was wrong with me for getting so mad at odd things like random sounds, i only recently learned about misophonia. my hatred of sound is focused on soft noises like people talking in calm or quieted voices, it drives me to enragement. i know this is 5 years later but i hope your condition has improved.

hi 15 years later, this was the first video about misophonia i ever watched back in middle school? i was so happy to find someone talk about it, theres alot more exposure for misophonia now

Thank you for explaining this so well. People don't understand that it isn't just being annoyed. It's more than that. How would you explain to a normal person what anxiety you would feel going to a dinner and a movie? Oh the lip smacking dinner would be terrible and then popcorn chewing, squeaking chairs, and crackling bags would drive me insane! My psychiatrist told me about a breathing technique called the pranayama that breathes in for 5, holds for 7, and out for 9 seconds. Once I'm able

This disease was on The Today Show and when I watched it, I cried my eyes out. Me and my mom were sobbing. Tears of joy. I have battled with this for 5 years and I'm only 13. I have this very badly. it caused depression, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, insomnia, paranoia, and Isolation. I cry for days. I cried because I thought I was crazy and I thought I was alone. Boy, was I wrong. And I was so glad to hear that I'm not the only one with this. Tears of joy today. <3

I am so happy to see all these people who share the same problem as me... god, I thought I was just being dumb and overly sensitive this whole time. Gum chewing bothers me so much.. I wish it could go away but obviously it can't LOL. I hope you're doing well right now. Thank you for posting this!

Thanks so much for putting this up. Ever since I was 12 (Not long ago, I'm 14), I've been irritated to the point of extreme aggression. I find that it's worst with those who I'm closed to. Namely, parents, siblings, dogs and the like. It fills me with such rage... The worst noises for me are those of saliva sloshing, lip smacking, eating, breathing and the like. I don't even eat crunchy food anymore, and am extremely self-conscious while eating/breathing.

Thanks so much for this video! I have often been told to "just get over it" or "you are so strange." I have been extremely annoyed by loud eating noises for a long time. It was actually somewhat of a relief to discover that it's an involuntary reaction caused by abnormal nervous system wiring. At least now I know what I'm dealing with - maybe I can find some coping skills.

I know how you feel. I suffer from something called 4S and whilst my main trigger sound is sniffing I have the same response as you (imagining hurting the person etc). I admire your courage to put up this video, I'd be so scared that someone would know about my condition and use it against me (as some of my "friends" have done). Thank you so much for doing this, hopefully more people will learn about this awful condition and understand us better.
