Need help

Idk if this is the right form for this (please ignore grammar mistakes)

I struggle with really intense misophonia with chewing and slurping. Normally I counter this by eating alone after everyone else but when I go out to eat, my dad (I want to note with this, he is incredibly stubborn and considering all his other traits i wouldn't be shocked if he has some type of narcissistic disorder. I won't elaborate on it but please keep that noted with advice as I can't just talk with him) eats disgustingly. Not only are his manners extremely bad but he also eats super fast and super super loud, and whenever I'm dragged out the house to eat I have to endure it

Its getting to points nothing is helping and my anxiety and anger is causing issues that involve skin picking and due to being a minor still (13-15) I can't get therapy myself (plus insurance can't cover it and my family can't afford 500 dollars for each session, and my school lacks a professional) or avoid him

I expressed this however he refuses to listen and dismisses me and genuinely does not care

It is also severe enough where even THINKING about the noises causes me intense anxiety and being on verges of tears

Does anyone have advice? I tried everything and nothing really helps and I can't really talk to him :p
