Does anyone else deal with misophonia? It’s where certain sounds trigger a strong emotional response Like for example- being very quick to rage at a pen clicking or dogs barking or something like that? How do y’all manage it? (More in comments)

In particular I get very very angry to the point of wanting to scream or more when dogs are barking repeatedly and unfortunately my parents dogs bark multiple times a night because my neighbor lets their dogs run loose It’s getting really annoying raging multiple times a night like this And even headphones don’t help because i can still hear them

i used listen to music but going through ssri treatment and decreasing my depression & anxiety levels has really helped to the point where only certain noises trigger it

It’s also emotionally draining because I go from 0 to 100 very quickly (and multiple times a night) and it takes some time to come back down
