No, I ’m Not Crazy

Thank you so much for yourarticle on misophonia in the July issue. I thought I was just being crabby and irritable all these years. I have to leave the room when my husband eats tortilla chips. I cannot stand near anyone who is cracking gum or blowing bubbles. I have stopped going to the movies because all my focus is drawn to the popcorn noises and the crinkling sounds of candy wrappers. At the gym and at church, all these little noises that no one else notices can make me notice nothing else.
