Hi
It's getting more difficult. I can't stand eating, breathing, humming, stirring in a cup and other sounds. I stay in my bed in the morning and wait until my parents are gone so I can eat in silence. I eat snacks when my parents eat them, even if I don't want to. I'm avoiding people because it drives me mad. I just sit in my bedroom most of the time but that's no way to live.
Does anyone have any suggestions that can help to 'ignore' the sounds?

Usually listening to music works if I shut out all the surrounding sounds, but it got me into trouble before. At my internship they said it was not respectful to wear headphones even after I told them why I use them (only when I needed to concentrate).
I avoid situations because I can latch out sometimes. The link you send advised not to do that so maybe I can try doing the breathing exercises conscientiously to see if it takes down the anger.
