It's even ruining my hobbies now
Brand new here, so I apologize if this is the wrong place for this. Feel free to delete/downvote.
I've started dealing with misophonia over the past 3-4 years. It started with my being very irritated by a coworker's loud/gross eating sounds, but its gotten increasingly worse. I have to wear noise-canceling headphones when anybody is eating near me, unless there's enough ambient noise, or I'm actively engaged in a conversation with somebody who isn't eating.
It sounds to me like someone who is eating is going at their food like a wild, out of breath, slurping animal, or like a garbage disposal full of drywall screws. In reality I know that they're just eating normally, but I've found myself snapping at my girlfriend a couple of times for having the audacity to eat Chex Mix within ear shot. I play Dungeons & Dragons with my friends every once in a while and the past two times have been absolute hell with 5 other people sitting around me with various snacks. I put earphones in but it's embarrassing and still doesn't help completely.
I've been going through a loop of medical professionals, with my therapist suggesting I talk to my primary physician about this, my primary physician referring me to a psychiatrist, and the psychiatrist referring me back to my therapist. I just don't know what to do at this point, and I hate it. If there's anything else I can try, I'd be willing to give it a shot.
