Went to a beach with some friends and wasn't able to wash my feet off before getting in the car. The car had rubber mats and I just had to hover my feet above it but even that was miserable. I don't remember being so bothered by textures as a kid, it often feels like that symptom has gotten so much worse. The car ride was only 10 ish minutes but it felt like forever and I had to hold back tears for a good portion of it.
Now I am isolating myself from everyone and my girlfriend is bringing me food from the kitchen. Everyone other than my girlfriend thinks I have a headache. Idk what I'd do without her. The sourdough toast and stardew valley are making me feel better as well.
Idk how to end this I just needed to get it out yk?
thank you for this post, I need to be more like your girlfriend with supporting my partner's struggle with misophonia
Do your best comrade, it isn't always easy. My gf is incredibly understanding but it still gets in the way of things and can be frustrating for her. Help your partner but don't deny your own emotions even if it means dealing with them in private for their sake. I say this speaking from personal experience, your frustration is valid and shouldn't be shoved down for too long. Best of luck o7
Hope this doesn't seem preachy :P
