Misophonic Horrors And Terrors

𝑹𝒐𝑩𝑰𝑵 🪐 Poem February 16, 2020February 16, 2020 1 Minute

Misophonic sounds,
—We all have our favourites,

Why is the ceiling creaking,
So bl***y annoying?

Because it sounds like the crunching of baby’s skulls,
Elephants trampling all over them,
Slowly,
Making me cringe,

It sounds like,
—You know when those folk trample grapes,
To make wine?
Sounds like doing that but whilst wearing boots,
And trampling spiders,
And assorted insects, packed tightly in,
But slowly, creepingly;

It sounds like something grotesque,
A sound that,
You really weren’t supposed to hear…

I write poems which are mental health-themed, creative or humourous :). Within mental health I write a lot about: ADHD, OCD, anxiety, autism, emotional trauma— usually with an optimistic slant. My goals for my blog are to give myself a therapeutic, creative outlet whilst also being able to connect with and relate to other people. View all posts by 𝑹𝒐𝑩𝑰𝑵 🪐

  I agree! Haha, it makes no sense. Also, for me, it depends somewhat on the person doing it! I can forgive my most favourite people for it, but family members I’m not particularly close to— they’re the worst! I read other people saying a similar thing on Reddit the other day. That’s only true for bodily sounds.
  
  My mum was the absolute worst offender for any kinds of sounds:
  
  —Slamming cupboard doors (even ones already-springed!),
  —Scraping every last crumb of cereal out of a bowl, ending up just banging the bowl with the spoon repeatedly…CHING CHING CHING CHING
  —Loud swallowing sounds,
  —Really annoying high-pitched sneeze,
  —Coughing
  —Screaming your name up the stairs for something insignificant
  
  >_<

  There’s more— such as slamming every door known to man. The front and back doors at home sent shockwaves through the house— I could feel the vibrations in my chest and feet! Terrifying!

    Other people just don’t get it, do they? They think it’s jsyt about being ‘loud’.
    The struggle is real 😔🖤

    Ahuh, never had any sympathy from family! I used to work in a supermarket on Saturdays, for 9.5 hours, which meant getting a good night of sleep on Fridays— when everybody else in the house was staying up late, watching TV, screaming and banging. They never respected my wish for peace, so I could sleep— so I never got a good night’s sleep! Just ended up getting really angry. I can hear EVERYTHING when I’m trying to sleep!
    
    Apart from that, I don’t have much experience of actually bringing it up with people, and standing up for myself. I’ve only known of misophonia for 1-2 months, and only in the last week or two have decided I really need to stand up for myself with it!
    
    Totally agree 🤗💙. Actually, my family always thought it was about me wanting to control them— thus adding to the pile of insulting ideas about me, and reinforcing their criticism/hatred of me! 😆. And because they have extremely rigid thinking patterns, I know nothing will ever truly change their minds! But that doesn’t matter now, because I’m FREE! 😁.

    And freedom is all that matters, in the end 🖤🖤
