Experience Tumblr like never before
Day 60: There is a thunderstorm outside.
The sky is flashing so much, it needs a seizure warning and the thunder sounds like cannonballs.
I am afraid of dying. Our neighbors have a huge tree in their yard and in a strong storm it could break off and crush our roof.
I don't want to be crushed to death.
It's hailing outside too. Big ice balls, not yet big enough to Crack the windows but still making lots of noise.
We pulled all possible plugs. TV, Computer, Radios, even the coffee machine. They might get destroyed if lightning strikes.
I hate the noise that thunder makes. Thunderstorms, especially heat storms make me think of suffocating, burning and pressure.
Sometimes I just want to hide in a small nook with no bad noise or feeling.
I hear the wooden supports of our house making noise, it's horrible. I want to leave but outside is dangerous.
I don't know what to do.
I hate thunderstorms.
No longer using responses as of June 25th, 2023. However, you’re free to still answer the questions if you want a place to talk/rant about your experiences!
HAI!!! Ok. So. Misophonia, - when you hear certain sounds made by others that [drive you mad], give you a feeling of abnormal disgust, anger, or discomfort. I have that! It really sucks!!!! And I want more people to know about it! For those unfamiliar but wanting to learn, this is a good base article to read.
I'm working on a project based around misophonia for school, and one part of this is a survey - and I'd really appreciate, if you know/believe you have it, if you'd spare some time to fill it out...?
It's completely anonymous :3 There's a place to give a name, but only if you want to. You can use it as a place to vent, You can be as lengthy as you want, or as short as you can possibly manage. However you wish to be!! There is verrry small mention of self harm at the scale-based question, but that's it.
14 questions: 2 for your name/consent, 3 multiple choice questions, 8 open-ended text questions, and 1 bonus one for misokinesia.
For those who followed me for art,, Help me share this and i can get back even faster ;) ;). asjdfgdnf That felt evil sorry! This is a really important topic to me o|-<
If you don't have it yourself, but still reblog it, thank you so so so much!!!

Note: Sound sensitivity isn't exclusive to autism, but is incredibly common in autistic people. It's also one of the difficulties that people often cannot understand and grossly underestimate if they do not experience it themselves. I'll repost this soon with visual descriptions (I'm currently sick with COVID-19). If you find anything I post helpful, please consider buying me a Ko-Fi.

having misophonia and having friends that don't is a fun reminder that my sound hating experience is not. universal
