Right now I am exhausted after losing control and screaming for half an hour, hitting hands against bannister, stamping feet, getting worked up into a state. The reason for this outburst was the announcement that my brother is moving home after two years away because he is splitting up with his girlfriend, and I can't deal with the change. mY brother works shifts and often arrives home late, which will wake me up because I am a really, really, really light sleeper. My dad will get me some good ear-plugs but no plugs have this far worked, so I am sceptical. I have a strict bedtime routine, I can't tolerate being woken up because I suffer from severe anxiety associated with nightime disturbance - I have a schedule that has to be abided by. I feel so stressed now, I hate, hate, hate change, so what can I do to make things easier for myself?
