Rage or Misophonia?

I know this Topic is about Anger Management, but I didn’t see one listed for Rage unless I just missed it. I do actually have anger issues due to childhood trauma. I think that’s a separate issue than my rage. Noise seems to set me off in a rage. Uncontrolled fury type of rage where I can become violent. It seems to be noises that I can’t stop…persistent noises. I am very noise sensitive. My ear just tunes into the lowest noise that doesn’t seem to bother others.

My current situation is that my husband has to start off sleeping in another room because he falls asleep as soon as his head touches the pillow and he snores/breathes loudly, whereas, I am wide awake for a couple of more hours. Once he gets up in the middle of the night to let the dog out he will come sleep with me after I’ve fallen asleep. I literally dread when we travel and have to share a hotel room because of his snoring. I’ve tried using ear plugs and noise canceling ear buds/phones, but I can still hear him snoring or they are uncomfortable to sleep in (I sleep on my side). (This is just one example as there are many other noises that bother me).

I read recently of cases where people were diagnosed with Misophonia that causes rage. I quite literally fixate on the noise I cannot control and it sets me off. I get this adrenaline just pumping through my body. My heart rate picks up and I feel out of control. I just want to stop the noise no matter what it takes. This is really scary. I’m not physically violent in the least, except with noise.

Has anyone else experienced this and what do you do that helps you in these moments?
