I'm sure this happens to others. We've all had that trigger that causes us to snap and shoot our mouths off.
In my case it was a difficult conversation (with a now former aquaintance) that set me off. The individual suggested that, with reference to my Anxiety, that I 'just get over it'. That I'm not even trying to get better, nor am I doing anything to get off disability. She even went so far as to accuse me of depending on medication as a crutch.
I was angrily alarmed - and I reacted. I was rather harsh too. In hindsite I perhaps ought to have bit my lip until I was in a calmer frame of mind and given her more of an education than a blast.
But this - snapping - is my modus operandi. As much as she was at fault I feel like I was in the wrong.
