College can be extra exhausting when you have misophonia. But when it all starts to become overwhelming, take a step back and ask yourself: what am I working for? Journal about it, and evaluate if your efforts are worth what you want out of the experience, whether that be a job or simply knowing more about a topic that interests you. And if you decide that you want to keep at it, know that you’ve made it through hard times before.
You’re a strong misophone, and college has got nothing on you.

As students with Misophonia, sometimes (or a lot of the time) we feel greatly suppressed and debilitated from being able to show our true academic capabilities due to the stress of having to deal with activating noises. However, accommodations can greatly help to provide you what you need in order to reduce your Misophonia related anxiety while test taking, to provide you a more comfortable overall test taking experience, and to most importantly help you strive as a student.

“Maybe we misophones were more effective nomads, moving on to a new setting every few weeks as seasons and resources changed.” Misophonia means being adaptable and accepting the unexpected.

Waking up every day knowing that you must prepare to fight your misophonia activators and prepare for the mental combat in your own mind is terrifying. But, that doesn’t mean the strategies to cope with it have to be challenging and dreadful in order to control your emotions in the midst of the overwhelming feelings that come with it.
