Doda suffers from misophonia. “I can’t cope anymore”

Doda has been dealing with a problem since childhood that has a strong impact on her well-being. People suffering from misophonia have very difficult everyday lives and often have problems in contacts with others.

“I don’t know if I suffer – I have been living with misophonia since I was a child,” she said a few years ago in one of the interviews. This condition means hypersensitivity to certain types of sounds. What people usually treat as part of the background of everyday life can be overwhelming for people suffering from misophonia.

Doda suffers from misophonia

Doda talked about her life with misophonia after Internet users were amused by a recording of Aryna Sabalenka asking one of the journalists to stop clicking her pen. “It’s terribly irritating,” the tennis player said over a year ago. Doda commented on the video, which was funny to some, with the words “I understand this girl perfectly.”

She later explained on Instagram what a challenge living with misophonia is. This condition makes you hypersensitive to various types of sounds that, for others, are neutral.

I have been living with misophonia since I was a child, but it has become more severe over the last ten years. Maybe from overstimulation while working on stage, in the recording studio, or from nerves in show business. I wouldn’t be able to handle the pen mentally, admitted Dorota Rabczewska. – He can not. Some humming sounds, air conditioners, repeating sounds, clocks that go “tick-tick-tick”. Fortunately, there are fewer and fewer of them, I had to move them out of every room I slept in.

What is misophonia?

Misophonia is hypersensitivity to certain types of sounds. They may be related to a certain repetition, as Doda pointed out (clock ticking), but also to characteristic sounds made by other people – e.g. while eating. The sounds create a very unpleasant sensation, they begin to dominate among others, and finally become unbearable. What’s worse, these are not just mental experiences. A person suffering from misophonia may feel unpleasant sounds throughout the body, comparable to pain. This disease cannot be cured. You can try to limit them (e.g. by using noise blockers) or tame them with therapy.
