I was interested in learning how some of you manage/lessen your irritability.
My irritability gets reaaaally bad when I'm hypo - to the point that I blow up on my friends and family and damage relationships.
I've learned, for now, to stay away from people when I'm irritable, as the slightest thing sets me off. It's very difficult going to work when I'm like this. My therapist says it's not good for me to isolate, but agrees it's probably the best for now examining my past of losing my crap on people.
Anyone learned any good skills to deal or lessen the irritability?
