I still can't figure out how to prevent myself from at least reacting to those feelings, let alone anticipate when they'll ignite.

I struggle with this a lot....some days it takes all my willpower to not just explode and I know what I am about explode about is my problem, not whomever is triggering me. But once it pops no holds are barred...it's all out verbal warfare and I aim to win, at all costs...I will say the most hurtful and directly pointed thing just to hurt that person, before gabapentin I would have this happen for a few days straight. Just pure rage.
Afterwards my wife (most often my target) will sit with me and we will work out that most everything I spouted off were things that I was not dealing with well myself....almost word for word.
and then it's gone just like that and I slip into depress or hypo state.
