Noises bother me a lot. Neighbors dogs barking, when they leave their dog out, I go outside and try to hear so I can be annoyed knowing that the possibility is there.

I get irritated really easily and snap at people that are close to me. I know better than to do it to strangers, but I have mostly used the "walk away" method and come back later to prevent saying something I know I will regret. 

Noises at work, or lets be honest, dumb people at work in meetings that just are being annoying, I get bothered and i don't say anything but inside I'm boiling.

I'm lost at what I should do. I talked to some family about these and they basically said man up and get over it... And I feel like that is the answer... but I want to get help. I'm seeing someone this week I made an appointment with and I'm scared crazy about meeting. Half embarrassed the the other half thinking its all in my head. Are these normal feelings. How much has going to see a professional helped.
