I know how that feels. And I think it's important even though you can't seem to identify them before they happen, that you do recognize these situations as something you wish would just happen differently (more than I can say for some of the things I've done myself)
I dont know if my words would be helpful because, we're all different and we all cope differently, but having all these things happen right after another and clearly wearing you down both mentally and physically, my advise would be take a bit of time for you to level at first - and I'm not talking about doing anything like going to a doctor or just talking to anyone or whatever - just a couple of days for you, to relax, to get your thoughts together or get some energy to move forward to figure out whatever it is that you need or think should do about it.
I believe sometimes we're so focused on "fixing" things we're just not ready to move forward, not sure if I make any sense? sort of like, you had one situation happen and you recognize right after it just happened how it upsets you and since it upsets you that it's most likely not right, from there we get his... urge to just make it all better, magically like we wish we could with our PTSD sometimes, and then we try to help things and we continue to find ourselves in more and more awkward situations we wished they didn't happen.
You need time for you, for your thoughts. Whatever it is, give yourself a break because it's clear you prob need a time out from a busy week. It is never easy, but sometimes there's not much to say or do than evaluate our thoughts and find smart ways to cope with urges or these intentions we have got no idea where they even come from.
What I've done is basically set simple rules for me, like don't do anything when I'm crying or upset. I just force myself to sit or stop, once I calm down a bit is when I'm allowed to go out, or make tea, or just go back to my daily activities because even though I may not mean to, I become clumsy when I can't concentrate or when I'm triggered so I can't drive, cook or do anything that I may end up harming myself with, because I have. And I'm lucky to be alive today.
My best advise for now is try to endulge yourself in things that may cheer you up, have you got a favorite movie? do you like icecream? I don't even know, whatever simple little thing that may keep you busy for now and would be something that you may enjoy that will give you time to heal up and distract yourself.
Hope it all gets better soon enough, Hellion *hugs*
