Somehow, I stopped blogging about Miso even though I really agree with you… every word that’s been written or said by anyone is worthy!

Sorry to hear about hyperacusis and hope that everything will be ok some day!

I can still feel the relief I felt at that moment. After that banana is not just a fruit for me.
Thanks Karen!

I laughed through this post probably much like you laughed when you read Leonore’s message.

I so understand about hb :)

I’ll wait for your update if you decide to try Mg Chloride.

My husband recently heard a story on The People’s Pharmacy about magnesium and that’s what got me started taking it for stomach issues and irregularity. I’m hoping it also gives me a pick-me-up, especially in winter when I tend to have less energy. Being stuck in the house with sounds is also tougher in the winter :) Every now and then James says, “we should live in a tiny home” and I cringe thinking how it would be very hard to escape his noises in a small space. As it is, our house isn’t that big.

I completely understand your point of view and can find myself in your story. I’m very empathetic also and worry about other people but honestly, not that much. So agree with you that it’s emotionally draining!
I haven’t really thought about Miso-empathy in the way you described “being compelled to pay attention because you’re doing that non stop for other things.” Maybe because I connect empathy with something that’s ok, even good, and Miso I connect with everything that’s opposite of ok and good.
You also mentioned “sensory overload” and I do think it has a big part in Miso reactions.
I’m curious did you try to change your “feeling bad when not paying attention to others” and to what extent you could actually change it because it seems that you’re doing that because you’re very empathetic and on top of tat because you’re taught to be that way?

Right now I’m listening to music with earbuds in because my husband just got back from a run. This will be followed by much sniffing and throat clearing. He headed to the kitchen so my earbuds went in before he even fixed his cereal. Oh, how I wish you would have said the magnesium chloride also helped your miso. I, too, recently started taking magnesium (by mouth) for stomach issues. I may have to try it topically to see if I get better results. Glad to have found your blog.

I was raised to constantly be aware of how I was affecting others….to an extreme. Always told I was being too loud, or stepping in someone’s way, or inconveniencing someone in some way. Because of this, I’m constantly worrying over inconveniencing people and constantly telling my husband to get out of the passing lane while driving, or to keep his voice down for the neighbors, or not to swear in public because there might be children, and on top of all this worry I am constantly paying attention to everyone around me and their reactions and body language….it’s emotionally DRAINING. So I think that miso is just the straw breaking the camel’s back. I’m already on sensory overload, when along comes this soft/repetitive noise that because of my empathy/whatever-it-is I feel COMPELLED to give my attention to! Like I feel bad for ignoring or missing anything coming from anyone around me, and I can’t NOT pay attention to it! But when it’s added to everything else I’m already trying to pay attention to, the annoyance and interruption is so great that I cannot handle it, turning it into a fight or flight response. Haha. Take it or leave it, this is my personal miso theory :)
