Social Media Advocacy

Social Media You may think that social media’s best attributes are sharing game invites to friends, and connecting with your long-lost childhood friend. That may be true, but it also has a plethora of resources for raising awareness. The ability to post, like, and share has allowed many organizati...

Is Not Hopeless

Is Not Hopeless

Whether or not Misophonia is actually a sub-set of SPD (such as SOR, or sensory over-regulation) remains to be seen. Misophonia, SPD, and other sensory related issues can seem as though they have stolen your life. Mental disorders such as OCD, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, or others can hijack the situ...

How To Survive Flying on an Airplane with

My greatest fear with Misophonia used to be airports and flying. It doesn't help that my anxiety was trying to get involved too. It was telling me that flying was going to be absolutely horrible. Since my stress levels are already crazy when going through the airport (security terrifies me), I was p...

Should I Try Experimental Treatment?

Often I am emailed, messaged, and generally bombarded with messages that ask: "Should I try experimental misophonia treatment?". People are willing to fork up thousands of dollars for these treatments, and sometimes more for plane tickets across countries, and even across oceans. I by no means want....

To Those Who Don’t Have Misophonia: Please Support Us

I am writing this open-letter on behalf of those that suffer from Misophonia. Family, friends, colleagues, you may have seen "memes" that have been shared explaining Misophonia as "annoyance" or "over-reacting". This is hurtful to us. Misophonia sounds like a silly name, I agree. However, the condit...

Mela Comfort Weighted Blanket

I've suffered poor sleep throughout my entire life and as a result I have tried enough sleep aids and remedies that I've become skeptical when a product claims to offer sleep benefits, but after hearing positive feedback from several trusted friends and colleagues about their experiences with weight...

Sufferers Of Are Full Of Sound And Fury

When I first discovered what ‘Misophonia’ is, I had an entirely different story to tell. I was relieved there was a name. I was also scared that I have a disorder that seems to be under-researched, and would be at risk to be stigmatized. Most people that I have talked to with Misophonia have bee...

Is the Pay-Off Worth the Risk?

Is the Pay-Off Worth the Risk?

  As a Misophonia sufferer I have always avoided social situations. A crowd is a breeding ground for every known trigger, even some new ones. Standing in a line is distressing, for some reason I always seem to get behind the gum popper or loud talker. I enjoy an occasional rock concert. A rock conc...

Why I’m Starting a Non Profit

The International Misophonia Foundation is a project that means a lot to me, Shaylynn Hayes-Raymond. As the co-founder of Misophonia International, and the remaining owner, I had questions about where my journey was going to lead following 8 years of advocacy. I feel as though Misophonia Internation...

Respect, Compassion, and

When the conversation turns to relationships, I often run into some recurrent themes. Sometimes, people complain about the lack of empathy and respect they receive from others. Other people wonder if they will find someone who can tolerate their misophonia. Some spouses/partners/family members are a...

You Are Not Your Illness

It’s always nice to have a name for what you are suffering from. It is true that people will seek to know what it is that is taking over their life. “What is my diagnosis?” However, the true challenge is ultimately to find the name… and then let it go. I was diagnosed with Borderline...

Misokinesia: Visual Triggers

Misokinesia: Visual Triggers

I'd like to first start by saying that misokinesia (hatred of movement) is a term that oversimplifies things. Research-wise, there's not enough to go on to say whether or not visual triggers are different from misophonia. They might both be related, they could be part of SPD, or they could be two in...

A Typical Day At The Office

It is Monday morning again. I make it a point to arrive at the office about 10-15 minutes early to avoid the “morning rush” filtering in the building. I quietly enter the office making it safely to my office and immediate close the door. 8 am is approaching and everyone begins to arrive. Do they...
