Most of my life clicking sounds have annoyed me. Gum cracking used to be the only one though. What was once a minor annoyance now actually enrages me. Whenever someone is making any kind of "clicking" sound it makes me insane! My friends tell me "just ask them to stop" but they don't understand the rage that I feel.

This is particularly bad right now because my boss has a habit of clicking her nails together and tapping. I'm ready to quit my job because it makes me so nuts. I can't afford therapy and I have no idea what to do about this. Can anyone help?

P.S. I'm posting here because I used to have severe panic attacks but have them under control now...I'm wondering if this is related as well.
