Does coffee make misophonia worse?

[Soft Wumbo]

I can drink 4 to 6 cups of coffee a day, my psychiatrist told me to stop drinking it, but i didnt visit him anymore since he couldn't give the solution for my misophonia.

This misophonia can kill me, i love hard music like rock and metal, but at the same time i hate sound is made by certain humans, like coughing, eating, laughing etc.

I know OT(it is like a meme forum) is not the best for looking an answer, but i want to hear your opinion.

[Psychlapse]

Coffee is a stimulant, so yes it probably makes it worse.

[sleeps]

i already am misophonic.

the caffeine both lowers the threshold at which your misophonia can trigger, and makes your resulting reaction stronger. this is because it's a CNS stimulant. you're welcome

Like 4-6% worse yeah. Not much, but if you're trying to learn to reduce triggers it's generally good to start from a baseline and work up rather than the other way around.

[OoOoOoooOOoOoorgle]

Whether or not it does much for misophonia, 4-6 cups is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lot and I would try to cut that at least in half, if possible.

If that's the only way you can stay awake/functioning then it may be time to scrutinize diet and/or sleep schedule.

It's a mental condition. Some people are driven into a rage hearing people chewing, smacking their lips, whispering, etc.

Ok, Namco seriously needs to make a Tales of Misophonia.

I don't believe in Misophonia, I think its another 1st world invention used to mask reality.

If I'm wrong and Misophonia is real, then I would suggest coke zero, ASMR to trigger you hard, and a punching bag until its fixed.

Yeah dude, it's real. I don't need a doctor to read my blood pressure to confirm to me I am enraged.

But you are right that it's kind of stupid. It's like people who have irrational fears. Cue the cottonball man: https://youtu.be/g5O4yCupqXA?t=142

Misophonia qualifies for neurosis.

And as I said countless times before . . . although the opinions & views expressed on OT may offer some limited insight/humor/indigestion, please know that there are accredited professional resources available for FREE in your own community & online.

Please seek consultation with your physician/therapist/social worker/spiritual advisor.

Makes me a grouchy cur

Can't speak for misophonia, but caffeine tends to make my OCD and concentration issues a lot worse if I have too much of it.
