Sound overload

over 3 years ago

Hi there,

I'm new to this site and was just looking for a bit of advice. 

My OH has breathing problems so has to breathe through his nose and is therefore SO loud! He yawns like 10 times in a row in the mornings and it makes my blood boil. I've never known someone yawn so loud. Then sitting near him during the day all I can hear is his mouth breathing and making a clicking sound. When we sit at breakfast all I hear is his crunching of fruit, breathing and coffee slurping. Then he'll be wiggling his legs and fighting. I just can't cope. I get so mad at him but know its my aspergers. 

I really don't know what to do to help. Its driving us apart and I hate waking up next to him. I already make him use vapor rub and a snore device whilst I cram ear plugs deep into my ears each night. 

I just want peace for my crazy brain Sob 

But then I feel so so bad for my moaning but I just can't control it. What's wrong with me? 

Thanks x

    Gosh, you have my sympathy. People's breathing really does my head in. As a kid I was in total meltdown all the time at home. It really is hard to communicate to people the impact. Some people definitely breathe so much louder than others, and then it makesyou less tolerant of their other breath type noises.

    Could he get an op on his nose? Or work with a herbalist to reduce allergies so he can breath through his nose? Or there are other therapy approaches to learn to breath through the nose. I shifted from being a mouth breather to a nose breather, though i did undergo a wholesale revision of my life.

    I,m so traumatised by breathing that if I share a room with someone I have to wait til they're asleep before i can stop being anxious about my own breathing noise ittitating them, tho no one has ever complained!
