Oh it's just so frustrating!!!!! I feel I'm ok 1 minute only to be reminded that I'm not!! It's so damn depressing to even get anxiety around my family!! I ask my mom a question only to get anxiety when she responds. And the more she says and closer she gets I get more and more anxious and the only thing I can think of is escaping to my room. It happens with my brother too. Yes strangers cause anxiety but to even get that anxious and agitated around ones you love!? Their little mannerisms, habits, and movements are all triggers, and they are just be themselves. I see the sadness and confusion in her eyes as I try to get away from her/them. Makes me feel so guilty and wanna cry. This happens all the time!!

Do you have anywhere, other than your home, to go spend time at?

No. I have no friends here. I do have other relatives but I get the same feelings around them.

This happens to me too around my family. I have to tell them that it's not them, it's ME. And the guilt is awful. But they seem to get it once I explain it. They are, after all, family. I know exactly what you're describing!
