People with misophonia are triggered, feeling intense and hard-to-control "anger, anxiety, or disgust" when listening to certain sounds, like chewing or clock ticks.
Misophonia's symptoms are likened to the fight-or-flight response, creating intense emotional reactions that can feel like someone stepping on your "emotional gas pedal."
Melissa Gilbert expressed relief upon discovering misophonia had a name, stating, 'I sobbed when I found out that it had a name and I wasn't just a bad person.'
