Misophonia, do you have it?

A disease that's gaining popularity is misophonia. This disease makes its victims extremely angry and full of rage at the irritation of noises. Any noises really, from chewing to head banging. A teen named taylor was interviewd by 20/20 has a very serious form of this disease and has experienced dangerous outbursts towards her mom at any noise she makes. Her mom is at a lost of want to do with her, especially since she's became a danger to anyone around her, going into a blinding rage at the sound of footsteps and going into a state of suicidal intentions and ready to strike anyone in range to release her anger. I personally don't blame her, if my kid got set off by literally the smallest things, I wouldn't know how to even begin fixing it without wanting to wash my hands of the girl. It's important people know about this because if others have this problem and have no idea what's wrong with them, this article gives a good insight to how they feel and may lead someone to get help so that they don't end up so damaged like poor mentally tortured Taylor.

  1. Haha, sounds like loud chewing and crunching or sniffling and snoring make me feel enraged, but my emotions are easily controlled, so it has never been a problem.
