Proprioceptive synesthesia?

Post Reply New Topic

Certain sounds and smells make me feel like I'm being pushed. Does this exist, because I haven't found anything on it?

Maybe it's because the rage I feel when I hear/smell them is so extreme that it has a physical manifestation and it's more of a pseudo-synesthaesia.

are you saying you have a short fuse with certain stimulus?

Interesting. I do not experience this. I sounds like it could be either of the things you describe.

That's pretty much it, but it's more than the way certain other things make me angry. Other things make me angry too, but not in the same way that the sensory things do. This is angry that's more like angry-sick. I've thrown up, fainted, and fallen down before.

I am not sure if this is exactly what you mean since I have not actually fainted or fallen due to sound before, but I have very bad reactions to certain sounds as well. I read something on this recently that basically said that people with auditory sensitivity feel attacked by the sound and need to get away from it or make it stop. We basically have a fight or flight reaction. In my case, if I cannot get away from the triggering sound I sometimes have to go "someplace else" in my head to keep from having a panic attack.

That's what it is. Attacked by the sound. I've had to run away, or I've had panic attacks or I've freaked out on the people (usually my dad) causing the sound. One of the big ones is people who make really obnoxious noises when they eat, like slurping, sucking their teeth, etc.

I have this too. I was once on a train and there was a whole lot of different sounds, each one as irritating, that made me want to jump out of the train. But I couldn't, so I put on my large headphones and played my ipod really loud so that I could no longer hear the sounds. I was literally clawing at the windows to escape and kicking the side of the train. All it was was several conversations, several people eating and crushing up paper bags and even someome getting something from a plastic bag was setting me on edge.

I think I see what you're describing, but I don't think it's really synesthesia. Sometimes when I'm anxious or angry I get a leaning or shifting feeling that could feel like being pushed. If light sensitivity is making you nervous or angry, it could be something like that.

I don't know what this really is or if it's the same thing, but that's what I experience, anyway.

I've got Audio-Visual-Spatial Synaesthesia.

Sounds like extreme stress from sound sensitivity is actually making you physically sick. The sound is the trigger but the sensation itself is from regular stress reaction. Drugs should help but I'd do almost anything before going that route.
