My god I have this..
It started when I was about 10, we used to sit at the table for dinner and I would get so angry at my brother for his noisy eating I'd just leave the table in a fit of anger. I think my parents put it down to hormones.
My dad left us when I was 13 and we didn't eat at the table together as much so I didn't notice it as often.
I have had a huge problem with the way my mum sounds when eating, I can't sit anywhere near her, I feel so bad for her that I feel that way.
If she comes in the room with, for example, a ryvita, I literally freeze and feel a huge anger build up inside me. I have to leave the room.
When we go out for a family meal I have to sit myself as far away from my mum as possible. she has often invited me out to lunch but the thought of it panics me so much I find an excuse every time.
I actually had an argument with my husband last week because he'd cooked enough food to feed a small army and asked my mum to join us (we are temporarily living at her house but don't eat together anymore, I put a stop to that).
My husband didn't understand what the problem was, of course, and I felt like a horrible selfish b1tch but I knew I couldn't sit at the table with my mum, but actually saying them words out loud to him would have been impossible.
So we did eat together and I just sat and stared at the table not communicating with anyone as i was in a rage that I couldn't snap out of, yet I didn't want to make anyone else feel uncomfortable or for them to ask what's wrong and for me to have to say the silly sounding words of 'I hate the way mum sounds when she's eating'...so I just sat, and stared, It's hard to explain but it's like I was just focusing on not having an outburst.
When I met my husband 10 years ago I cooked him a meal after we'd been dating for a few weeks, whilst eating the anger built up and I quickly left the table and told him to get out of my house, that we aren't going to work :/ thankfully I calmed down and saw I was being 'silly'.
Over the past few years I have become very intolerant of my husbands breathing when eating, I feel so angry my chest feels so tight I could burst. I have a few times told him to 'just stop breathing...please!' He laughs but I'm being serious!
I feel like I tolerate a lot of things in life that others perhaps wouldn't, and I certainly don't get angry very often either, but this problem is just something else.
I really did think I was the only person with this issue and had no idea that it was an actual disorder. I may have to pop to see my doctor before I forcibly stop my husband from breathing!
