Does this happen to anyone else?

The sound of someone's voice just makes you angry? This happens to me with a few individuals. After a while it gets so bad that hearing their keys as they walk into the office triggers that irritating feeling. I was put on a medication once that stopped it for a while but I don't remember what it was. I was able to apologize to one person for treating them so coldly and we are fine now. But it's happening more often now. My mother is very loud and I feel that it has affected our relationship. Well that's a whole other issue.

Has anyone found any helpful remedies for this?

Yes, And sometimes just seeing them will put me into a rage. I find the best thing for me is to avoid them as much as possible.

The problem is when they don't get the picture. (And also when they're the boss' daughter)

i keep remembering what i read about PTSD treatment, that approaching the trigger, the memory , the scenario again and again is the way out. but sometimes that doesn't work....

i have found, like Jeff, that it is best to avoid those things which one can't control, and to control oneself (as you do) when possible. if you find out more skills and techniques, please share~! ?

I will let you know if I find anything else that helps me Gus. I just find it better for everyone to avoid the situations as much as possible.

Hey Pasty, cool name by the way, my bosses wife works here to. We've had our run ins. I've told her when she starts signing my checks, then I work for her.

Maybe the sight of me puts my partner in a 'rage' or the sound of my voice when I disagree with something he says. I think I must learn not to pursue an issue once he has lost it. I think I sometimes make matters worse!

certain voices trigger me too...

If I'm in one of those anger-filled moods, everything irks me. You'd have to have the sweetest voice in the world for me not to get extremely annoyed, so yes, I know what you're saying to some extent.

My partner is hyper vigilant too and he says it is for survival!

I can certainly relate. I'm depressed and angry these days and I have to try real hard to simply tolerate some people and their voices. As with so many issues/challenges in mental health, I bet that mindfulness meditation would be helpful in strengthening compassion and , yes, tolerance.

All the best...
