My narcissistic family is annoyed that I cough so every time I coughed they would do threaten to call the police and say that I attacked him or do something that causes panic in me like yell at me. Every time I cough I have a fear that someone will yell at me. The fear makes me feel vulnerable and they know this. I don't know how to get rid of it, the fear of being yelled at when I cough is present even when no one yells at me anymore. Any help is appreciated just can't go to a therapist.

I see from your other posts you are living with your family and I suggested you contact Family and Children's Services to see if there's any aid they can give you.  It's an idea to let your family doctor know, s/he may be able to help too.

BY the way, curious as to why you chose the name PretendFamily as your pseudonym here?
