OP is being unreasonable, and OPs counsel is nice, but struggles with basic procedural skills. (For example, forwarded me emails from his client that admit to evidence spoliation). On a scale of 1 - 10, how dick-ish of me is it to wait until end of the day to serve a mountain of Interrogatories, Request for Production, Request for Admissions, and a Deposition Notice. I may or may not be purposely exploiting OC’s inability to keep up and follow the rules of discovery.
Yes and the smells can be hard too. I usually will just pop my airpods in or go work in a separate space til its over
Yes I’ve always had this problem, I also get triggered by the motion of people eating or fidgeting around, so even if I have my headphones it can still be a struggle. I learned from a young age to redirect the intense feelings back at myself instead of outward after constantly getting screamed at for covering my ears or twisting my face or flapping my arms when I heard bad noises. So now I’m also dealing with self-hatred for not being able to control my reaction on top of the misophonia itself (reactions internally i.e. fight or flight, increased heart rate, anxiety, anger etc - I’m decent at hiding outwardly now though sometimes I feel like it just makes it more intense to deal with it all internally)
That was a lot I just always appreciate finding other people to talk about misophonia with 🙃
Yes! I just saw a specialist for this. Her name is Sara Bidler. I found her listening to “the misophonia podcast” which was helpful to hear other people’s experiences with it and their coping mechanisms. Also, loop earplugs are helpful for movie theaters. (A very triggering environment for me)
Thank you for sharing! I’m going to check her out. This really gets in the way of relationship building, focus and productivity for me.
