I am so relieved to hear that this is not just something that I go through. I, and everyone around me, thought I was nuts.
When I hear someone whistle, I literally think I could hurt the person. It is the same with someone popping their gum or chewing loudly. Even if their mouth is closed. Nail clipping too. I feel like a freak.
Does anyone know if this is something that is related to adhd or ocd? Does anyone know if there is a medication for this?
