Those are some of my main reasons too. Sometimes you just don't have the option of controlling the situation, but you can always control your own actions (in theory anyway). Can you develop a plan for what you will do in those situations or when you need to break free of discomfort? I guess that's why people say to talk to somebody when you want to hurt yourself. I must do it backwards. I can be very patient. Last winter, for example, I was really depressed for 2-3 months before I got tired of it, got in a situation I didn't have control over, went into a rage, and did the most damage I ever have. I knew that I was going to to it for at least a month before it happened. I could have found somebody to talk to before it got to that point, but that wasn't what I wanted to do. After I did it I felt significantly better.

When that thought at the back of your mind forms up, I'd sure be interested in hearing it.
