I think I have Misophonia?

See if you dont know, Misophonia is a neurological disorder in which everyday sounds (for me it is chewing and coughing are the worst)  enrage you a severe amount due to a strong emotional reaction.  I got it when i was around 11 or 12 and i read that it usually develops just before puberty.  I'm 16 now and I absolutely can't STAND the sound of gum chewing, it makes me want to scream or cry or something.  My mom has seen the large amount of rage it brings to me, yet she still thinks it's not real and I can't get her to listen to me.  Is it worth talking to my doctor about?  The words Neurological Disorder sound scary and I dont know what to do!!
