I am so irritable and touchy that I do not even want to be with myself! I wish I could be anywhere but with me right now. Of course, there is no escape from me.
"Wherever you go,there you are."

So I can isolate myself from others, to avoid hurting them. But I can not leave to avoid hurting me. I HATE this.

I wish I had some control over how I feel. It seems all I can do is get out my DBT tools and use the distress tolerance stuff and ride it out.

This too will pass.

The one thing you can count on with emotions is that they will change. They are like waves, when one comes in, it is only a matter of time before it goes out again and another one comes back in. I just have to wait until it goes back out... and hope I do not have to do anything else in the mean time. No phone calls, no one at the door, no other things that demand me to be anything other than what I am right now: Angry and liable to snap at the slightest provocation.

I don't want to be like this. What can I do?
