i cant fully say but... i think the severity does definitely depend on where my mood is... usually, when i lose full control (like hyperventilating) its when im under high stress (school, people)...

but the thing is... i started getting this way today, and ive been very relaxed lately... problems here and there, like always, but definitely not like back then... so maybe thats why i didnt lose it this time...

but this doesnt happen any time other than when im provoked... i do get similar reactions about minor things, like not being able to find a pen or something silly... but not even nearly as bad as this...

EDIT: and yeah... i try to, but a lot of these things are just all in my face, so i can rarely avoid any of this...
