Except this is happening in my home! They are working in the attic and doing work on the walls inside and out - I cannot. Deal. Never. Could. My original perp situation happened in just these paramaters when I was a kid. Flashback central.
I am holding it together while they're invading (AND USING MY BATHROOM) arrgghhhhh - with a lot of alcohol and sedatives - wine actually. Can't do the hard stuff. My life has been entirely turned upside down. I do the music thing with rock music as well - at other times when I'm triggered by noises - usually machinery or shouting. That will do it. Pearl Jam is my friend.
Thanks for replying. This isn't an easy one to deal with I know - this is one of the reasons, btw that I chose to live as a hermit and learned to fix most things myself. One of things I could not do was fix a bloody leaking roof. Otherwise I'd done it. I did go so far as to get the ladder though.

Timeout is as,much for me as it is for my daughter (so i dont snap at her for no reason)... I lock myself up in my room and blast metal at full volume straight into my ears, and proceed to sing my heart out.
This can sometimes take hours though, like when I'm in the throes of an agitated bipolar episode.
I've heard running is just as effective, and works faster, but I'm not much of an exercise fan...
