I have problems getting enough rest when living with people who are seemingly completely inconsiderate or even combative. I have anxiety especially when it comes to sleep, but the idea with living with someone I don't feel comfortable or friendly with makes me nervous as well. I've had bad experiences with roommates who have done inappropriate or otherwise unsettling things, but it gets to the point even now where if I wake up to people making noise (especially if I've discussed the issue with them before), I feel like I turn into a helpless child, and I just want everything to be perfect and quiet right then.

Like I said, I've talked to my (new) current roommate once or twice about it, and he's apologized, but I still am anxious about being able to live here and sleep as normal. And as I said I feel out of control when trying to deal with this as it happens (especially if specific fears of being awoken come true), I want to make sure that in the future, I can deal with this, because I don't necessarily like having to avoid roommates or being in the same place as other people. I talked to my girlfriend about it, and she seemed pretty upset at how almost hysterical and angry I could get about it. Thank you very much for any help you can give.
