It's back

Now is the time you need to regroup and breathe. In through the nose, out through the mouth.

Relax...

/this happens on occasion. But if it starts happening a lot, talk to your doc... You may need a med adjustment or change.

Try to stay calm. Mindfulness is key right now. Think about everything that you are doing. Cry if you need to. You are going to be okay. Just keep hanging in there. Keep posting.

Hugs, Karen...

MissJD,

I have a day like this once a week and it's draining. You carry around so much anger, you are even mad at yourself....there is not a trigger point that you can even look to, to figure out where it started.

On those days, I take a hot shower or bath, put on a good movie (Harry Potters for me) and just go hide. I feel worse when I am around others because I know I will have a tendency to snap for no reason (adds to the guilt you are already feeling).

Some days it better as Kate stated above to get out of the house and spend some time alone...even if it's a 20 minutes...it can help. Sometimes writing helps me too (although I have neglected journaling for a long time).

Those days are difficult to get through and I am sorry. I have had a lot of those days lately myself. I do recognize on those days that I am harboring anger for not knowing how to improve things (similar to when baby is tired and resisting sleep)...

I sing it out. I stuff anger, it's a hard emotion for me to accept and express. Music is a big release of the harder emotions for me. I like to be alone so I don't have to feel self conscious while I just sing as loud as I want along with my favorite songs.

You just have to find what works for you. Counseling has really been helpful in assisting me in what works best for me as outlets.
