Answer 1

I have had my anxiety hit that level. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, which makes me sensitive to noise anyway. But when my major depression comes into play I can't deal with any outside intrusions.
Do you have a therapist or a psych med doc?? If not, I would seriously consider getting at least a psych med doc.. this could change your life!

Answer 2

You make a choice, to become strong enough to live with it, which you have done for x years, and therefore are not as weak as you think you are.
or not.
The result is the same. - you survive all the same.
-Whether you feel better in the process or not, is based on the first choice.
Name all the reasons why noisy people make you angry?
Now be the person making the noise, and apply fair judgement to your list.
If you had a job and a car, would you have the right to go out of the house at 8am and start the engine, to get to work and if someone upstairs accused of inciting them to anger, what then?

Are they decent people with the same problems as you or are they minding their own business, and working at different problems which they will overcome in their chosen way?
Either way, you don't figure in their lives and this you know, and that makes you angry, the spirit of paranoia invented ways of bringing them into your life.

See?
Fear. The thing that every warrior uses to his advantage, to stay alive in danger. Identify the danger, when the noise levels are allowing you to reason with yourself, accept, there was no danger. Just irrational anger. The outcome is, after every panic, -you survived, without doing anything.
Since no-one can survive danger without doing anything, the truth is you panic and get anxious over nothing.
But something compels you to focus on the noise which just maybe, maybe result in danger. How many times is this true?

Direction. Who is in control? Focus. You. -And who are all these people who are trying to help you?
Listen in the right direction. or read out loud.
the spirit of fear of everything, has hidden the only thing you need fear.
losing control of your anger.
that is the only danger. This you knew, you are in control.

If you believe that the only thing big enough to take the full force of your anger, would be God sized. Then in a self controlled manner, Using word pad or pen, go ahead.
Before deciding that this is an irrational thing to do, ask yourself
a question answer it yourself, and start writing.

in the name of love,

which is all you need.

Answer 5

There are various methods out there, but I can't speak on any of the programs as I've never tried them. However, I have found success for my own problems with antidepressant/antianxiety medication. Stay away from alcohol or drugs though, they'll only make your problems much worse.

Answer 6

Anxiety is caused by many factors, heredity, brain chemistry,
personality, life experiences etc...but usually best treated with medication, if your a serious long time sufferer then most other methods, meditation, herbs ect won't help much. See a doctor at least.

Answer 7

I would get the Omega Man out to give me some blood to ease my disease, judging from your picture.

Seriously you need to look at your diet. That can be a big factor in issues like this.
