I'm not sure how to answer you as we're talking about completely different things. Repetitive household tasks (chores?) are not what I'm talking about. They're boring as heck, but I do them. I can do them without any profound negative physical sensations and effects other than the displeasure many people experience when doing something not fun.

I'm talking about small, restricted, repetitive tasks like sorting screws or something. The effect is physical. When I say I feel like I'll explode that isn't hyperbole. It's akin to the fight or flight reflex, I guess. I'm sure there is a better way to describe it, but I lack the vocabulary.

My wife understands the problem I have with it, and so - in the case of finely chopping cilantro - she simply asked me to do something else. I did that thing instead and teamwork was still achieved.
