"But I love music!" I clearly remember exclaiming in confusion after my psychiatrist told me about misophonia and that it was the diagnosis she would write in my file. Today, my 33 year old self understands that this was just an expression of shock from my 22 year old self. I struggled then to learn and accept that not everyone experienced their back and leg muscles tensing, their jaw gritting over every sharp keyboard tap, every loudly ticking clock, every dripping faucet that wasn't turned off completely, or the wet sounds and lip smacking coming from the next restaurant table where the gentleman just would not close his mouth while he was chewing. At 22, I wasn't sure if a diagnosis of misophonia was validating or terrifying, but I knew it was something I would live with for the rest of my life. I knew that I was relieved at the diagnosis, the feeling that I was not alone. It wasn't until I entered the medical field as an Emergency Medical Technician and began volunteering with a suicide prevention hotline that I really began to understand just how differently misophonia affects each person. While I had learned breathing exercises, visual cues, and physical trigger techniques to help ease my own tension, I was blown away by the descriptions of my patients and callers that would lament at "how crazy" they felt when the unavoidable sounds would combine with their current issue and send them spiraling. Too many people that were never given a reasonable explanation for the invisible weight they carried. My own experience with my diagnosis, mental health assistance platforms, and face to face patient care taught me that awareness and a feeling of solidarity or support can make a difference. No one wants to feel alone. I began using my social media platforms to advocate for misophonia awareness in my own small way. I have found that posting about the history of misophonia and the common triggers along with an image that catches the viewer's eye can make a difference in how a viewer assesses and shares your post, so I use my nature photography or hospital photos as I go through treatment for a bleeding disorder to gain attention. I may not have 1 million followers, but I will always encourage every single person to share an awareness post. You never know who may be struggling, and guiding them to resources like soQuiet can be life changing! I will continue to use social media to raise awareness, but I am also hopeful that I can bring further awareness and support to my college campus and among online students by creating a campus support group. I plan to reach out to our Success Coaches once Fall semester is closer in order to begin the process!
