Hello.
I've always had a variety of problems, covering a pretty wide swath of the spectrum, but I've dealt with them pretty well, if I do so say myself. However, recently (staring about a year ago) I've had a new problem that's getting to unbearable levels.
Certain, well defined but unrelated things just set me off. For instance, groups of people yelling in a certain manner, IE like when there's an emergency or cops yelling on TV. It makes me tense up and get all panicy, and sometimes even want to attack the source of my discomfort.
The worst, offender, however, is when my parents sit on the couch and my dad massages my mom's foot. For one, the noise of skin on skin rubbing just makes me fly off the handle. The mere act also just disgusts me for some reason and I don't know why.
Some more details: I'm a guy, 20, living at home because I'm in college and can't support myself on my own. I've tried talking with my parents but they just get mad and yell at me, the same response that I always get when talking to them about any problem. I only have about 100 bucks to my name, so I don't think I can set up any appointments anywhere.
I believe the one trigger, the foot thing, has to do with the fact that my own feet had a birth defect and required surgery when I was 10. They're kind of a special area for me, I guess. I used to like the idea of foot rubs and stuff, but ever sense my parents started doing it on a near daily basis I've become disgusted with even myself touching my own feet.
