Binary, I'm sorry what you're going through. I'm sure you tell her you would give her what she's asking if you could. So many details in relationships, hard to give advice. Maybe wait to end it when you're calmer, I tend to try to destroy things when feeling down, like self sabotage. What do you feel you could handle this weekend? 20 movies in bed - that's where I'm at. If I had a non-judging, compassionate partner I'd welcome them to join me but warn them I'm grouchy.
They really need to get it (and many people are capable of grasping abstract thoughts) we are not bp or depressed because we are weak. We are stronger than anyone has a clue because we've endured depth and intensity of thought mood emotion they have no idea!

Thank you all for the replies.
When I get wound up like this I try to stay in front of my computer, usually playing games, where my judgment can do the least bit of damage. But I am irritable a large portion of the time. I am irritable when I am depressed. I am irritable when I am manic (or should I say, hypomanic). The times in between are fine, but they don't last very long. So I end up spending enough time in front of my computer that my girlfriend has started calling it my "mistress".
I would rather stay away than start a fight cause I still haven't learned to control my tongue yet when irritable.
