Search Results: age is an issue

I remember noticing this when I was young, around the age of 8/9 I had to share a room with my brother who was 3/4 at that time.

He used to snore extremely loudly and it kept me up most of the night, to the extent I couldn't focus at school. The noise of the snoring instantly enraged me, like made me furious with rage. I started getting of bed and shaking him rapidly until he stopped snoring. Or is plug his for a few moments so he'd open his mouth to take a breath and stop snoring. My mum caught me at this and basically thought I was trying to kill my brother. I just wanted a peaceful night's sleep.

Snoring still completely infuriates me, to the point I can't focus on anything else. But so does nail biting, people eating with mouths open, crunching, whistling, and heavy breathing. All of it makes me feel like I could snap and I feel I need to remove myself from these situations just to cope.

It's just so annoying, it effects almost every area of my life. I feel like I'll never get married, because I couldn't manage life if the guy snored or breathes heavily at night.

Is there anything I can do to help myself? I'm fed up of living this way.
